- Press Release -

A recently revamped study published by Fact.MR expects the baseball equipment market to flourish at a CAGR of 6.1% to reach US$ 1,898.19 Mn by the end of the 2022-2032 forecast period. Increased participation in baseball events by netizens worldwide is heightening growth prospects for baseball equipment in recent years.

From 2017 to 2021, sales of baseball equipment registered a CAGR of 5%. Prospects dwindled significantly during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic, especially in 2020. Imposition of a global lockdown to prevent further infection spread led to cancellation of all major baseball events, along with restrictions on outdoor sporting activity. This led to declining footfalls in stores to purchase baseball equipment.

Eventually, as 2021 arrived, speeding vaccination drives and reducing infection intensity permitted a resumption of all sporting activity. This led to a restoration of demand for baseball equipment. Future growth prospects are reliant on manufacturers seeking to forge sponsorship contracts with leading agencies in order to widen their product outreach.

Key Takeaways from the Market Study

• By product type, baseball bats and gloves to collectively yield US$ 1,000 Mn in value
• Modern trade channels to experience a CAGR of 3% with regard to baseball equipment sales
• By buyer type, individual baseball equipment to account for 3 out of 5 sales
• APEJ to experience noteworthy growth in baseball equipment sales, growing at a 7% CAGR
• North America to be the dominant market, accumulating a market share of 66%
• Global market for baseball equipment to be valued at US$ 1,050 Mn by 2022-end
