Updated on : September 11 , 2023
The sports optic market report share is projected to reach USD 2.1 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 2.71% during the forecast period. A major growth driver is the enhanced fan engagement/experience. Further, superior performance specifications such as clarity, sharpness, portability, and magnification are driving the sports optic market.
Sports Optic Market Segment Overview
Market for sports telescopes to grow at higher CAGR during forecast period
Currently, telescopes hold less share in the sports optics market, as they are used in limited sports such as water sports and snow sports. However, with increasing water and snow sports activities across the globe, demand for telescopes will also increase. Further, in the coming years, the penetration of handheld telescopes will boost the demand for telescopes in other sports categories. The growth of water and snow sport activities in APAC are expected to further help grow this market at the highest CAGR.
Shooting sports to be dominant in sports optic market during forecast period
Shooting sports holds a larger share in the sports optics market for games. Shooting guns are mainly used in sporting events such as rifle shooting, target shooting, and handgun shooting. Increasing awareness about shooting sport is expected to fuel the global market for shooting sports.
Increasing investments by the government (especially in North America and Europe) in training armatures and professionals for shooting events and the presence of manufacturers are expected to drive the market of sports shooting. Further, with declining cost of riflescopes is also expected to boost the sports rifle scope market for sports shooting.
APAC Sports optics market to register highest growth during forecast period
Currently, APAC holds a less share of the sport optic market; the low demand is owing to the lack of spending capability in most technologically advanced countries in the region. However, in coming years with increasing number of stadiums and upcoming sport events, such as Asian Winter Games (2017), Summer Olympic Games (2018), and World Masters Games (2021), the market for sports optics is also expected to increase. APAC is a promising and emerging market for the sports optic products owing to factors such as growing economies, growth of small- and medium-scale businesses, and others. Few leading companies of binoculars and telescopes in China offer innovative sports optics across sports industries.
