The sports analytics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been an immense escalation in the size of the sports analytics market. It is projected to expand from a worth of $2.46 billion in 2024 to $3.08 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.0%.
Factors responsible for the marked growth in the preceding period include the accessibility and consolidation of data, enhancement of fan involvement, optimization of performance, augmentation of business operations, and the international proliferation of sports.
The sports analytics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for sports analytics is predicted to expand rapidly in the coming years, reaching a value of $7.87 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.5%.
This projected increase during the forecast period is credited to factors such as custom fan experiences, augmented investment, and regulatory compliance. The forecast period is also expected to witness key trends like advanced player tracking technology, the application of machine learning and predictive analytics, esports analytics, and the incorporation of biometrics data.
The escalating need for the surveillance and recording of player data is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the sports analytics market. Sports federations and organizations are increasingly employing the practice of athlete monitoring to discern behavioral patterns, habits, and performance. Gathering this information permits the coach to scrutinize and analyze, which subsequently aids in drawing out the athlete's optimal performance. Monitoring and tracking amalgamate data accumulation and analysis to gauge how well the player's objectives have been achieved. As the craving for surveillance and recording of player data intensifies, a considerable demand for sports analytics solutions is expected to generate data-oriented decisions, based on information procured from monitoring tools and platforms. For example, in July 2024, the U.S. Center for SafeSport, a national nonprofit organization based in the U.S., according to their 2023 annual report, indicates the center's largest hurdle is the management of the escalating quantity of reports, having received 7,533 in 2023 - a 32% increment from 2022. This signifies their growing reliance on its resources by people undergoing abuse or misconduct in the realm of sports. Therefore, the escalating need for the surveillance and recording of player data is predicted to drive the sports analytics market's growth.
