Sports Technology Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.9% through 2030F

Sports technology market is expected to be led by advancements in wearable technology and data analytics in the forecast period 2026-2030F.

According to TechSci Research report, “Sports Technology Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, Global Sports Technology Market was valued at USD 44.8 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 127.72 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 18.9% through 2030. The rising investments in smart stadium infrastructure are propelling the growth of the sports technology market. Smart stadiums incorporate advanced technologies such as Internet of Things devices, high-speed connectivity, and automated systems to enhance the spectator experience and improve operational efficiency. These infrastructures offer features like cashless payment systems, mobile ticketing, and real-time navigation within the venue. Furthermore, smart stadiums are equipped with sensors and cameras that provide valuable data on crowd management and energy consumption, enabling venue operators to optimize their operations. The deployment of advanced connectivity solutions, such as fifth-generation wireless technology, ensures that spectators can seamlessly access digital content and share their experiences in real-time. Moreover, the demand for environmentally sustainable practices has driven the adoption of energy-efficient technologies in smart stadiums. With governments and private investors increasingly supporting the development of such infrastructures, the trend of smart stadiums is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the sports technology market in the coming years.

Resistance to change and reluctance to adopt new technologies present another challenge for the sports technology market. Traditionalists within the sports industry often view technological interventions as disruptions to the essence of the game, leading to hesitancy in embracing innovations. For instance, technologies such as video assistant referees and goal-line technology have faced criticism and skepticism from certain sections of the sports community, including players, fans, and even officials. This resistance can delay the adoption of beneficial technologies, impacting the overall growth of the market. Additionally, a lack of technological literacy among some stakeholders can create barriers to implementation, particularly in grassroots and amateur sports organizations. Overcoming these challenges requires comprehensive education and awareness programs to highlight the benefits of technology in enhancing sports performance, safety, and fan engagement.
