This sports 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 sports market grew from $486.61 billion in 2022 to $512.14 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.

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 sports market is expected to grow to $623.63 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.0%.
The market is expected to benefit from the steady economic growth forecasted for many developed and developing countries.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated that the global real GDP growth was 3.7% in 2019 and 2020 and 3.6% from 2021 to 2023.

Recovering commodity prices are further expected to be a significant factor driving economic growth. The US economy is 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 at 8.7% in 2021-22, up by 1.5% compared to 2019-20, whereas China registered a GDP growth of 8.1% in 2021. This continued economic growth is expected to drive the demand for sports. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the sports 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 with countries entering a state of ‘lockdown’ and the outbreak hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021.
However, it is expected that the sports 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.

Sports organizers are implementing virtual reality (VR) technology to improve the spectators’ experience in sporting events. Virtual reality generates images, sounds, and other sensations that simulate a physical presence in an imaginary environment. Clubs and teams are experimenting with simulated and 360-degree environments to enhance the match viewing experience of the spectators by allowing them to have a virtual walkthrough of the stadium or the race track and view the match from different angles.

For instance, the NBA game between the Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs was broadcasted in VR. NASCAR has created an interactive fan area at the race tracks with the implementation of virtual reality. Major companies in the market include Maruhan, Life Time Fitness, Inc., Liberty Media Corporation, Futbol Club Barcelona, Dallas Cowboys, Heiwa Corporation, Manchester City F.C., New York Yankees, Manchester United Football Club, and Juventus.

What is the total value of the sports industry?

The sports market – Article The global sports industry is worth up to $620 billion today. With growth that is faster than global GDP, its long-term prospects appear strong. The sports industry today spans the field of play—from the food and memorabilia stands at the stadium, to media rights and sponsorships.

The many participants in this market are competing for a bigger slice of a pie worth as much as €450 billion. Today’s global sports industry is worth between €350 billion and €450 billion ($480-$620 billion), according to a recent Kearney study of sports teams, leagues and federations. This includes infrastructure construction, sporting goods, licensed products and live sports events.

Live sports events in particular offer a compelling proposition to different industry participants—from free-to-air broadcasters seeking viewers and advertising revenues and pay-TV broadcasters looking for loyal subscribers, to sponsors moving away from traditional media, event organizers, athletes and spectators.

Which country has the largest sports industry?

In 2018, the United States accounted for a 32.5 percent share of the global sports market. China represented 12.7 percent of market. The global sports market was valued at approximately 471 billion U.S. dollars that year.

Is football the biggest industry?

We at SportyFi often throw around the phrase “sports industry” in the context of our project. Let’s see what the expression really means. – Sports is and industry full of passion, feelings, euphoria and also big disappointments — both for fans as well as for athletes trying to do their best. But the sports industry is also a business — one of the biggest ones. Football (soccer) is by far the number 1 sport in the world. The estimates on how big the sports industry is, varies by source, but it’s commonly considered to be more than $500 billion, with some estimates running up to $1.3 trillion! The industry connects many different activities, ranging from hot dogs sold at sports events to multimillion transfer fees paid by the biggest clubs when acquiring new superstars.

The business features numerous participants: from rights owners (athletes, clubs, leagues and federations) to sports agencies, sponsors, investors and broadcasters — competing over a bigger and bigger pie, as the sports industry is growing faster than most. But not all sports disciplines are represented equally in these finances.

Number one, worldwide, is — no surprise here — association football (soccer), with a 43% share of the global financial sports market. Football (American) is also on a distant second place, with 13%. Baseball (12%), Formula 1 (7%) and basketball (6%) are the only three sports also having an over 5% share in addition to the top two. Golf takes 3% of the sports financial pie. There are over 8,000 indigenous sports and sporting games — and all of them, excluding the ones mentioned above, take up only 8% of the global financial turnover in sports — even though you can compete professionally in a lot of them.

The pie here is comparatively small, but still in the billions, combined.
Here is where SportyFi comes into the picture.
We want to spread the possibility of success, which always requires a solid financial base, to a wider audience of athletes and clubs, by circumventing existing mechanisms and opening up the industry to small investors — no matter what the sport!

What sport owns the most money?

Highest Paying NFL Teams – The NFL pays out the highest amount of total salaries in the world with a whopping collective of $6.7 million in 2022! This is shared among all 1,486 players in the NFL making the overall average salary for a player in the NFL just over $4.5 million.

With each team in the NFL playing seventeen games a season that is an average of $260,000 per game played. That kind of income can buy a lot of cheeseburgers. However, the average is heavily skewed by the biggest contracts in the league. The median salary for an NFL player is $860,000, which, while still an obscene amount of money, paints a more accurate picture of the typical compensation for an NFL player.

The Fédération internationale de football association ( FIFA ; ; French for International Association Football Federation ) is the international governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal, It was founded in 1904 to oversee international competition among the national associations of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland,

Headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, its membership now comprises 211 national associations,
These national associations must each also be members of one of the six regional confederations into which the world is divided: CAF (Africa), AFC (Asia and Australia), UEFA (Europe), CONCACAF (North & Central America and the Caribbean), OFC (Oceania) and CONMEBOL (South America).

FIFA outlines a number of objectives in the organizational Statutes, including growing association football internationally, providing efforts to ensure it is accessible to everyone, and advocating for integrity and fair play. It is responsible for the organization and promotion of association football’s major international tournaments, notably the World Cup which commenced in 1930, and the Women’s World Cup which commenced in 1991.

Although FIFA does not solely set the laws of the game, that being the responsibility of the International Football Association Board of which FIFA is a member, it applies and enforces the rules across all FIFA competitions. All FIFA tournaments generate revenue from sponsorships; in 2022, FIFA had revenues of over US $ 5.8 billion, ending the 2019–2022 cycle with a net positive of US$1.2 billion, and had cash reserves of over US$3.9 billion.

Reports by investigative journalists have linked FIFA leadership with corruption, bribery, and vote-rigging related to the election of FIFA president Sepp Blatter and the organization’s decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar, respectively.

These allegations led to the indictments of nine high-ranking FIFA officials and five corporate executives by the U.S.
Department of Justice on charges including racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering,
On 27 May 2015, several of these officials were arrested by Swiss authorities, who were launching a simultaneous but separate criminal investigation into how the organization awarded the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Those among these officials who were also indicted in the U.S. are expected to be extradited to face charges there as well. Many officials were suspended by FIFA’s ethics committee including Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini, In early 2017, reports became public about FIFA president Gianni Infantino attempting to prevent the re-elections of both chairmen of the ethics committee, Cornel Borbély and Hans-Joachim Eckert, during the FIFA congress in May 2017.

Is soccer or football a bigger sport?

Football/Soccer – While it may not be apparent in the United States, association football—also known as soccer—is the most popular sport in the world by a vast margin. Soccer is king in virtually all of Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East, Central America, and Asia,

The sport has roughly 3.5 billion fans worldwide and 250 million players across 200 countries around the world. The next most popular sports in the world are cricket (2.5 billion fans), basketball (2.2 billion fans), and field hockey (2 billion). The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is the administrative body for association football, futsal, and beach soccer in Europe and consists of 55 national association members.

UEFA is one of the six continental confederations of world football’s governing body, FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association or International Federation of Association Football), UEFA represents the national associations of Europe and runs national and club competitions such as the EUFA European Champions, UEGA Champions League, UEFA Nations League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup.

In Austria and Estonia, the most popular sport is skiing, In Latvia and Lithuania, basketball is king, while ice hockey is the most popular in Finland, In Ireland, Gaelic football is the most popular sport. Everywhere else, it is association football.

The few exceptions include table tennis being king in China, archery in Bhutan, kickboxing in Laos and Cambodia, and basketball in the Philippines, The most popular sport in Mongolia is wrestling and the most popular sport in the Indian subcontinent (India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh) is cricket.

Moving on to Oceania, association football is the most popular sport in Indonesia and Fiji, while rugby is the most popular in Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and some other Polynesia island nations.
Australians tend to favor Australian rules football or cricket.
Association football/soccer again takes the top spot in Mexico, where men’s association football has been played professionally since the early 1900s and the Mexican Federation of Soccer was founded in 1927.

Mexico’s national football team first played in the World Cup in 1930 and has participated in 16 World Cups.

The Mexico national football team plays its home games at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City,

How big is esports compared to football?

When kids talk about Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and his gaming streams on Twitch, they speak of him as if he were LeBron James or Tom Brady. They analyze the 26-year-old’s every move in the battle royale game “Fortnite.” They quote his kill ratios and stats.

They emulate his tactics and moves as they dream of becoming competitive gamers. Technology consulting firm Activate estimates more than 250 million people watch esports, sometimes known as electronic sports or professional gaming, and most of them also play. His viewers propelled Blevins to the cover of ESPN The Magazine, which branded him gaming’s first “crossover star.” He averages more than 72,000 viewers during competitions, has access to more than 12 million followers, and nets about $300,000 a month in streaming revenue.

Blevins is one among many gaming superstars—and that elite group is about to get bigger. By 2020, Activate suggests that 70 million people will watch a single esports final, which is higher than the viewership for U.S. professional baseball, soccer, and hockey finals. How Big Is The Sports Industry Activate projects that in the United States esports will have more viewers than every professional sports league but the NFL by 2021. They project that there will be 84 million viewers of esports, higher than the 79 million MLB viewers or the 63 million NBA viewers.

This is still dwarfed by the 141 million NFL viewers. Go to a tabular version of esports viewers in the United States at the bottom of the page. Though the popularity and pay of gamers like Blevins is rare and the industry is still new, “everyone has to take note of how fast it’s growing,” said Eunkyu Lee, professor of marketing and associate dean for global initiatives at the Martin J.

Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. Unlike football or cricket, esports is not rooted in any region or culture, so it has a more global appeal, Lee said. “In today’s world, being able to reach billions of eyeballs is very important for building the product’s commercial value.”

How big is the sport soccer?

What is soccer? – Soccer is a team sport played by a team of 11 players against another team of 11 players on a field. The team has one designated goalkeeper and 10 outfield players. Outfield players are usually specialised in attacking or defending or both.

A team is typically split into defenders, midfielders and forwards, though there is no restriction on players moving anywhere on the pitch.
It is known as soccer in North America, but is called football in most of the rest of the world.
Its full name is Association Football.
What does a soccer ball look like? A soccer ball is round, and must measure between 27-28″ in circumference and weigh between 14 and 16oz.

How many countries play soccer? Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, played by over 250 million people in more than 200 countries. It is particularly popular in Europe, Central and South America, and Africa, though has a growing influence in North America and Asia.

What does a soccer pitch look like? The game is played on a rectangular field called a pitch with a goal at either end. The size of the pitch for international adult category matches can be between 110-120 yards long and 70-80 yards wide. The lines at either end of the pitch are called the goal lines, the lines perpendicular to the goal lines are called the touchlines,

The playing surface is usually grass. Artificial surfaces are very rarely used at professional level. What is the aim of soccer? The object of the game is to move the ball up the pitch and beyond the goal line of your opponent’s goal. A standard game lasts 90 minutes, split into two halves of 45 minutes.

The goal has two upright posts and a horizontal bar connecting them known as the crossbar and is placed in the middle of the goal line.
For competitive games, a net is connected to the posts and crossbar to stop the ball after it has crossed the goal line.
Any of a team’s 11 players on the pitch can score a goal, which adds one to the team’s total.

The team also get a goal if an opponent sends the ball into their own goal by mistake.

The team that scores the most goals in the 90 minutes wins the game.
Regular season games end at 90 minutes, even if the scoreline is level.
In domestic cup competitions and the knockout stages of international club and national team competitions, an additional 30 minutes – known as extra-time – is played, split into two halves of 15 minutes.

If the scores are still level after extra-time, a penalty shootout takes place. Here, five players from each team take turns to score. If the scores are still level after that, the team’s remaining players step up for sudden death until there is a winner.

Does soccer have post-season play-offs? Most domestic soccer leagues do not have a post-season play-off round like the major sports in the United States and Canada.
The team that finishes at the top of the table after the end of the season is usually crowned champion after each team has played each other at home and away (on the road).

Most league competitions give winning teams three points. A tie – or a draw – earns both sides one point. Losing teams receive no points. Some domestic leagues do use playoffs to decide which teams are demoted – or relegated – from a league, such as the Bundesliga in Germany.

The English Premier League has a play-off to decide which team is promoted to the top flight from the second division. What are the rules of soccer? The sport has 17 rules known as the Laws of the Game, which were laid down and are governed by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). The laws are designed to be universal, but slight modifications are made to take into account factors such as age, gender and disabilities.

What is a foul in soccer? In the team of 11 players, 10 are known as ‘outfield’ players, and are forbidden by the Laws of the Game from touching the ball with their hands or arms. Only the team’s goalkeeper is allowed to use their hands, and only inside their penalty area.

Handling the ball deliberately, tripping an opponent, and pushing an opponent are punished either by a direct free-kick – meaning the attacking team can attempt to score immediately when the referee signals for play to continue – that is taken from the position where the foul occurred or a penalty if the infringement occurs inside the penalty box of the fouling player’s team.
Other fouls are punished by an indirect free-kick, which means at least one other member of the attacking team must touch the ball before a goal can be scored.
Watch: Five things you might not know about set-pieces

What is a penalty kick in soccer? The penalty area is also referred to as the 18-yard box, The goalkeeper can only use their hands to touch the ball inside their own penalty area. Any defending player who breaks a Law of the Game – commits a foul, as it is known – inside the penalty area, gives the opposition a penalty kick.

A penalty sees the ball placed on the penalty spot 12 yards from the centre of the goal.
Any player, including the goalkeeper, can take the penalty while the opposing goalkeeper tries to stop the ball going into the goal.
Only the taker and the defending goalkeeper are permitted inside the penalty area.

What happens when the ball goes out of play in soccer? If the ball crosses the goal line but does not go into the goal, and was last touched by a player from the defending team, a corner kick is awarded to the attacking team and is taken from the corner of the pitch nearest to where the ball left the playing area.

If an attacker last touched the ball, a goal-kick is awarded with the ball placed on the edge of the six-yard box (the smaller rectangle inside the penalty area) and must be kicked by the defending team, traditionally by the goalkeeper.
If the ball crosses the touchline, a throw-in is awarded to the team which did not touch the ball last.

This is the only time outfield players are permitted to touch the ball with their hands. They must return the ball into play while holding it with both hands and with both feet on the ground. Failure to do so results in a foul throw, meaning the other team are given the throw.

What do soccer players wear? The goalkeeper must be designated before the start of the game, and wears a different colour shirt, shorts and socks to their teammates.
All outfield players on the same team wear the same shirt, shorts and socks, known collectively as a strip,
All players wear boots which have studs or cleats to improve grip on the pitch.

Headgear is not a required piece of basic equipment with all players usually wearing only shin guards and no other form of protective padding. Goalkeepers wear specifically designed gloves in order to improve their grip on the ball. What does a soccer referee do? A referee is appointed before each game and enforces the Laws of the Game.

They have two assistant referees – one placed on the touchlines on opposite sides of the pitch and in opposite halves.
A fourth official is present for professional games.
The referee can punish foul play by awarding a free-kick against the team of the offending player.
If the foul occurs in the penalty area, a penalty kick is given to the attacking team.

If the attacking team commits a foul in the penalty area, a free-kick is given to the defending team. The referee signals to players using a whistle, and is the only official inside the playing area. What does a yellow card and a red card mean in soccer? There is no limit on how many fouls a player can make as in basketball, nor is there a penalty box as in ice hockey.

If a player commits what the referee thinks is a serious infringement, the referee can show the player a yellow or red card. A yellow card is a warning known as a booking, and if the same player commits a offence that the referee thinks deserves a second yellow card, that player is also shown a red card.

If a player is shown a red card, they must leave the pitch immediately. A player can be shown a red card without having first been shown a yellow card if the referee thinks the rule infringement was serious enough. If a goalkeeper is sent off, a substitute goalkeeper can be sent on to replace them, but an outfield player must be taken off as part of the exchange so that the team plays with 10 players.

A team can have up to four players sent off and still finish the match.
However, referees are instructed to stop matches prematurely if a team is reduced to fewer than seven players.
What is VAR? In recent seasons, referees have been helped further by Video Assistant Referees (VAR).
Previously, television replays were not used to help referees make a decision.

Now, the referee has one or two colleagues, usually away from the stadium, who review four specific situations: cases of mistaken identity for yellow/red cards, potential infringements in the build-up to a goal (fouls or offside), direct red card decisions, and penalty decisions.

Goalline technology is also used to tell referees if the ball has crossed the goal line.
The whole of the ball must be over the goal line for a goal to be awarded.
How many substitutes can be used in soccer? Typically for a professional game, seven substitutes, usually including one goalkeeper, are named at the start of the match on what is called the bench.

Competition rules will specify exactly how many players outside the starting 11 can be named in the matchday squad. However, only three substitutions are allowed to be used inside the 90-minute duration of the match, regardless of injuries. If a game goes to extra-time, most competitions now allow a fourth substitute to be made.

Players are usually replaced because of injury, tiredness, or a change in tactics. Who controls soccer? Football is governed at a global level by FIFA, the International Federation of Football Associations, based in Switzerland. It has six regional confederations attached to it: the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL).

Each country has their own national football association, such as the English Football Association in England, known as the FA, or US Soccer in the USA. Each national association organises competitions between clubs associated with them. The most renowned are the ’top five’ European leagues: the German Bundesliga, the English Premier League, La Liga in Spain, Italy’s Serie A, and Ligue 1 in France.

Each regional confederation organises competitions between clubs and also national teams. The most well known and lucrative club competition in the world is the UEFA Champions League. It is held annually and features the European teams that have finished highest in their respective national leagues. UEFA also organise the UEFA EURO, a European championship held every four years, which features national teams that have won through in the qualifying process.

What is the soccer World Cup? FIFA organise the World Cup every four years, two years after/before the Olympic Games and UEFA’s EUROs. It is open to national teams from around the planet. It has most recently been contested between 32 finalists, though that number will increase to 48 for the 2026 competition to be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
