HOUSTON, Texas – Plunkett Research, Ltd. announces an important market research and competitive analysis report, Sports & Recreation Industry Almanac, 2022 edition. A complete market research report, including forecasts and market estimates, technologies analysis and developments at innovative firms.
Sports are big business. Combined, the “Big 4” leagues in America, the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB, bring in about $39 billion in revenue during a typical year. On a very broad basis, including related services, a reasonable estimate of the total U.S. sports and recreation market would be $552.8 billion yearly (and $1.5 trillion for the entire world).
When the astonishing variety of sports-related sectors is considered, a significant portion of the workforce in developed nations such as the U.S., UK, Australia and Japan rely on the sports industry for their livelihoods. Official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures as of 2021 found that 479,900 Americans work in fitness centers, 28,700 in snow skiing facilities, 52,300 in bowling centers and 329,900 at country clubs or golf courses. In total, approximately 1.2 million Americans work directly in amusement, sports and recreation sectors. Another 61,300 work in the wholesale trade of sporting goods, and 271,900 in retail sporting goods stores. Sports, recreation and related supplies and services have been among the greatest new job engines over the past several years.
