MARKET ANALYSIS

The tennis racquet market has experienced significant growth and evolution over the years, driven by technological advancements, changing consumer preferences, and the rising popularity of tennis worldwide. With a diverse range of players, from beginners to professionals, the market caters to various skill levels and playing styles. Manufacturers continually innovate to enhance racquet performance, incorporating materials such as graphite, carbon fiber, and advanced composites to improve power, control, and maneuverability. Additionally, customization options, including grip size, weight distribution, and string tension, allow players to tailor their racquets to suit their individual needs and playing preferences. As the sport continues to gain traction globally, particularly in emerging markets, the tennis racquet market is poised for further expansion, presenting opportunities for both established brands and new entrants to capitalize on the growing demand for high-quality equipment. Moreover, sustainability and eco-consciousness are becoming increasingly important factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions, prompting manufacturers to explore more environmentally friendly materials and production processes. The global tennis racquet market size is likely to upsurge by 2030 owing to the adoption of eco-friendly material for tennis racquets. From most tennis consumers ' viewpoint, the life cycle of a tennis racket is just from purchasing a brand-new racket to tossing away a worn-out racquet. However, the life cycle of a racquet is beyond that when environmental impacts are considered, i.e., from obtaining raw materials to decomposing the racquet.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

The rising government support for sports contributes to the growing tennis racquet market size. The rising commitment of governments to sports has opened up new opportunities for sports such as tennis as opposed to earlier times when tennis was generally played only during Wimbledon in Europe. Tennis is now being widely played during numerous events, such as the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics. In addition to this, local governments continue to build additional facilities, including tennis courts, children’s parks, and outdoor fitness areas within public spaces. Local governments of important cities are working to promote sports traditionally played only by the elite, such as tennis. In 2022, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) worked with more than 100 US facilities to provide technical assistance to build or renovate courts at public parks and tennis facilities. Also, US$ 750,000 million was awarded to more than 45 total projects, with US$ 285,000 for new construction projects. These initiatives represent more than 585 courts completed and an impact of more than US$ 50 million in tennis infrastructure. Additionally, in the US, tennis was offered in more than 20,000 schools in support of the next generation of players as part of their overall physical education programs. Therefore, rising government initiatives and support are anticipated to facilitate the scope of tennis, thus creating ample opportunities for market growth and expanding the utility of racquets during the forecast period. Tennis equipment such as racquet frames that were earlier constructed primarily of laminated wood and had a standard size and shape are now being manufactured in a varied choice of shapes, sizes, and materials—the most recent change being the introduction of metal frames.

The incorporation of titanium into the frame enhances stability, minimizing torsional twisting during off-center hits and ensuring consistent performance across the entire string bed. Additionally, titanium's responsiveness enables players to generate impressive racket head speed, resulting in explosive serves and blistering groundstrokes. Moreover, the stiffness of titanium provides excellent feedback and control, allowing players to place their shots at pinpoint accuracy. Furthermore, titanium racquets often have a larger sweet spot, which increases the forgiveness on off-center hits and reduces the likelihood of missed shots. This is especially beneficial for beginner or intermediate players who may not consistently hit the ball in the center of the strings.
