Description

According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global sports analytics market size is expected to grow from USD 1,061.8 million in 2021 to USD 5,816.5 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 20.8% from 2022 to 2030. Sports analytics tools include tools for measuring player fitness and team performance, competitive analysis, social media analysis, and business analysis, among other important roles. It has resulted in the creation of complex mechanisms for crunching statistics to forecast the outcome of a future athletic event based on past outcomes, win-loss records, and opponent history. In response to the increased requirement for monitoring and tracking data from athletes, the number of wearable devices in the sports business is expanding. As a result, a vast quantity of data about the players and the team is collected, which is used to gain insights into player performance and fitness characteristics such as pulse, speed, and acceleration.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Sports Analytics Market

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant firms are dealing with commercial issues related to coronavirus outbreaks, supply chain interruption, and a likely reduction in consumer spending. The COVID-19 pandemic is projected to hamper global revenue growth, leading to a slowdown in the sports industry, which is a major market driver.

Most important sporting events at the world, regional, and national levels have been canceled or postponed to protect the health of athletes and sportspeople, including marathons, football tournaments, athletics championships, basketball games, handball, ice hockey, and rugby, among others. The Covid-19 epidemic has significantly influenced the sports analytics business, disrupting supply chains and creating inflationary risks on goods.

Global Sports Analytics Market Dynamics

Drivers: Growing demand for on-field data

The growth in data volume generated on-field has resulted in an increase in maintaining and analyzing this type of data across various sports organizations. As a result, the usage of sports analytics in a range of sports organizations has increased. Various sports have used sports analytics systems to help them analyze enormous amounts of data and provide reliable findings to sports groups and trainers. Furthermore, market growth is driven by the desire to improve sports team performance and develop a larger following by delivering strong team performance. The increasingly competitive nature of these markets, as well as the need for improved decision-making to gain an edge over competitors, are expected to drive analytics adoption.

Restraints: High investment and maintenance costs

The initial investments for sports analytics solutions and device costs are high due to significant R&D efforts and obstacles associated with data processing through an embedded device. Maintenance and data storage expenses are also essential. In addition, the expensive cost of recruiting technical staff to analyze sports data and train employees may hamper industry expansions—the prices of the sports analytics system climb as a result of all remedial actions and equipment maintenance. As a result, various end customers' capacity to invest in these sports technology systems is limited, limiting their applications and limiting the growth of the sports analytics industry.

Opportunities: Availability of cost-effective and high-end computing solutions

Sports organizations embrace sports analytics to improve decision-making and promote the team and individual performance. Small sports organizations may profit from this technology and enhance their team's status in their respective competitions by using cost-effective sports analytics solutions. Furthermore, technological progress is significant in the sports analytics market, as the industry's use of various technologies such as big data analytics is giving a profitable possibility for future market growth.
