Monitoring and tracking are a combination of data collection and analysis (monitoring) to assess to what extent the objectives are met by the player. As the demand for monitoring and tracking data of player increase, there will be a significant need for sports analytics solutions to develop data-driven decisions based on data extracted from monitoring tools and platforms. For instance, more than 40 Scottish football and rugby clubs currently use the EDGE system of PlayerData (a UK-based software company) for performance analysis and load management. EDGE GPS is a data collection and monitoring tool that is worn by athletes to capture physical metrics during sports sessions. Thus, the increasing demand for monitoring and tracking data of players is expected to propel the growth of the sports analytics market. Technological advancement is a key trend gaining popularity in the sports analytics market. Technology has been changing the way that sports are evaluated. These analytics platforms and software are utilizing advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning to carry out complex tasks in athlete performance monitoring, case studies, and other activities.

This recreation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global recreation market grew from $1,443.83 billion in 2022 to $1,900.67 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The recreation market is expected to grow to $2,194.09 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.7%. The recreation market growth is aided by stable economic growth forecasted in many developed and developing countries.

Developed economies are also expected to register stable growth during the forecast period. Additionally, emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly faster than developed markets in the forecast period. For instance, India's GDP grew by 7.2%, whereas China registered a GDP growth of 6.0% in 2020. Stable economic growth is expected in end-user markets, thereby driving the market during the forecast period. This continued economic growth is expected to increase investments in the end-user markets and be a driver of the recreation market as greater affluence allows consumers to visit recreation centers. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the recreation market in 2020 as governments globally imposed lockdowns and restricted domestic and international travel limiting the need for services offered by these establishments. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and spread globally including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in the closure of recreational facilities such as amusement parks, museums, and casinos with countries entering a state of 'lockdown' and the outbreak hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the recreation market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
