Key Factors Driving Pickleball Throwing Machine Market Expansion

“Rapid Increase in Number of Pickleball Players”

The pickleball game has seen one of the fastest growth rates in recent years. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) 2020 Pickleball participant report, pickleball currently has 4.2 Mn players in the U.S. alone. According to USAPA, pickleball has seen significant increase in numbers over the last six years, there driving pickleball pitching machine demand in parallel.

Moreover, most pickleball games are played on retrofitted tennis courts, and it’s easy and quick for the recreation department and parks to get the game up and running, which is also a reason why it is easy to play and establish.

Further, every United States and Canadian countryside has pickleball venues. YMCAs, senior residence communities, local community recreation centers, parks and schools are just some of the places likely to have pickleball courts. Rapid rise in the number of courts and players is expected to drive pickleball machine sales over the years to come.

“Establishment of Several Pickleball Sports Associations Such as USAPA”

In any sport, the presence of a governing body that handles the growth and establishment of the sport is a beneficial factor and acts as an important driver for the marketing of the sport.

Various associations have been developed for pickleball in different parts of the world. Some of them are USAPA (United States of America Pickleball Association) and AIPA (All India Pickleball association).

Further, the official organization is the International Federation of Pickleball (IFP), which is the governing body of pickleball in the world. IFP has a total of 26 member countries with individual pickleball associations. IFP is a non-profit, volunteer organization committed to promoting international play and competition, maintaining the official rules for pickleball, and providing a worldwide code of conduct for pickleball athletes.

“Increasing Organization of Professional Pickleball Tournaments”

Organizing pickleball tournaments is a major way of promoting the sport and growth of the pickleball machine market. Major brands in the pickleball portfolio sponsor such events, which results in an evident growth in the sales of pickleball products. Some major pickleball tournaments are the U.S. Open Pickleball Tournament, The Bainbridge English Pickleball Cup, and so on.

These tournaments and events presents an opportunity for new players to enter into the competitive sector of the game, which results in more endorsements, sponsorships, and overall growth of the sport. According to Selkirk Sports, in 2018, nearly 2,200 athletes competed in the annual U.S. Open Championships, an event that is growing by an estimated 40% participation rate each year.

Further, prominent pickleball pitching machine brands such as Lobster Sports, Inc., pickleball Tutor, SIMON-the Pickleball Machine, and others, which specialize in pickleball machines, also organize local tournaments. Pickleball tournaments.com is a website that specializes in organizing many different tournaments across locations.

“Possibility of Pickleball in Future Olympics May Offer Opportunities”

IFP (International Federation of Pickleball) is also focusing on pushing the pickleball sport into the Summer Olympics. This could turn out to be an enormously advantageous aspect for the growth of the game, as the Olympics is a world-renowned multi-sporting event.

In addition, a sport is selected in the Olympics only if it is recognized by the IOC (International Olympic Committee). For recognition, the sport should be played in more than 75 countries, across 4 continents, and pickleball is closing in on that requirement, as it is growing rapidly in the European and Asian regions.

With rapid development and expansion of the sport, selection in the Olympics is a key opportunity for the pickleball pitching machine market to shoot up.

No Worldwide Telecasting of Pickleball Tournaments Hindering Market Growth

Pickleball is still a growing sport and has a relatively lesser popularity factor as compared to other big sports such as football, cricket, and others major league events. This results in lesser telecasting possibilities of the sport around the globe. This acts as a major restraint for the pickleball throwing machine market, as it lowers the chances of potential customers buying pickleball machines.

Moreover, in the current scenario, only the Western regions of the world telecast local pickleball tournaments, including the U.S. Open Pickleball tournament, even though it enjoys considerable popularity when it comes to players representing their brands/teams; but on a global scale, lesser viewership is impeding market growth.
