Market overview:

The Licensed Sports Merchandise Market is expected to reach USD 34.8 billion by 2030, growing at a 6.45% CAGR between 2023 and 2030.

The licensed sports merchandise market is expected to expand during the forecast period due to the growing inclination of the young population toward merchandise such as phone cases, mugs, helmets, balls, key chains, and wallets in support of their favorite team. Furthermore, the growing interest of the young population in various national and international leagues will fuel global market growth. Massive global marketing campaigns and product promotion via celebrity endorsements have contributed to the industry's growth. Furthermore, the increased number of sports leagues worldwide has increased sales of licensed sports merchandise. Female participation in sports has also expanded the market's scope.

Due to strict government guidelines and restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, outdoor games and sports were hampered. Sports clubs, fitness studios and gyms were the first businesses to close due to government regulations limiting the spread of the Covid-19 virus. In addition, major sporting events such as the Olympics and World Cups were halted due to the pandemic, affecting sales of licensed sports merchandise even further. The growing entertainment industry, in which sports are marketed as a major entertainment type through various digital platforms, is attributed to market growth. E-commerce growth and expansion have also played an important role in market growth. Online purchasing allows one to select one's favorite products at a discounted price.
