The use of sports technology to improve spectator experience and stadium operations positively impacts the market growth. Professional sports bodies have adopted new and innovative technologies, such as digital signage, smart stadiums, sports data analytics, and wearable devices. Due to the proliferation of sporting events, smart stadium is one of the significant trends globally. Additionally, the growing number of massive prize pool events and the ever-increasing number of sports leagues across developed and emerging economies provide market players multiple lucrative opportunities. Due to the presence of a limited number of players, the market is consolidated in nature. To develop innovative technologies and maintain their position in the market, players make significant investments in research and development activities. For example, Fitbit, Inc., a global provider of wearables, collaborated with Google LLC in April 2018 to accelerate digital health and wearables innovation.
However, the US sports leagues began suspending their seasons in early March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. Mandatory social distancing has significantly impacted the global sports industry. For millions of fans, live sports have taken the biggest hit, by shutting down games and ending broadcasts. Restrictions on sports events and mass gatherings in most of the countries are expected to affect the growth of sports industry, which minimizes the adoption of sports technology among end users, such as, coaches, clubs, leagues, and sports associations.

Increasing Investments in Sports Industry
In emerging economies, the importance of sports has been steadily increasing, leading to increased government spending on the development of the sports industry, specifically on setting up sports infrastructure, building sports teams, and attracting large-scale investments. For instance, the Chinese government’s plan to increase the country’s sports industry’s value to US$ 813 billion by 2025 is leading to large-scale investments in sports activities, including facilities, teams, leagues, events, and other programs.
National Football League, Major League Baseball, UEFA Champions League, Nippon Professional Baseball, National Basketball Association, English Premier League, National Hockey League, Kontinental Hockey League, Russian Premier League, and Indian Premier League are some of the major leagues across the world. Similarly, India’s federal government has set aside budget of US$ 262 million for the ‘Khelo Program’ for 2018—2020, to promote sports industry. Since 2012, investment in sports-related start-ups has grown by almost 30% each year. Investors spent nearly US$ 1 billion on sports-tech start-ups in 2015 alone. Investors are actively looking for innovative and disruptive technologies to boost companies in the sports industry. Thus, increasing investments in emerging markets is one of the major factors driving the sports technology market’s growth during the forecast period.
