From Health Tech to Green Sports: Technology Leading New Trends in the Sports Industry The 2024 Paris Olympics concluded amidst global cheers, once again sparking a wave of enthusiasm for sports, which fueled a surge in demand for sports activities and stimulated significant growth in the global sports industry. According to forecasts from the research firm Statista, the global sports equipment market is expected to generate a total revenue of US$171.6 billion in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.86% from 2024 to 2028. This demonstrates the impressive growth of the international market. After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a heightened global awareness of health, outdoor living, and sports, especially in light of the international trend towards net-zero sustainable development. Additionally, aging societies are driving increased demand for smart sports equipment for the elderly, while the post-Olympics fitness boom is highlighting the urgent need for the sports industry to embrace technological transformation and sustainability.
