Industry Insights

The global squash rackets market size was valued at USD 185.2 million in 2018 and will expand further at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2019 to 2025. Rising popularity of squash around the globe is expected to be the key factor driving the demand for these rackets. Moreover, a number of tournaments and world championships held by international sports associations including the World Squash Federation (WSF) and Professional Squash Association (PSA) will further increase the popularity of the sport encouraging more participation.

This is also likely to augment the product demand over the coming years. In addition, constant product innovations will have a positive impact on the overall demand. Increased awareness about the importance of racket sports for improved muscular strength and flexibility is expected to drive the market further.

These factors are likely to augment the demand for carbon fibers.Key manufacturers in the market, such as Head N.V., Dunlop Sport, and Tecnifibre, are focusing on expanding their product portfolio, which is also likely to have a positive impact on the material demand. For instance, in April 2015, Prince Global Sports, a U.S.-based manufacturer, introduced new carbon fiber-based models of rackets with ‘TeXtreme’, an advanced, light-weighted, and strong carbon material with high stability, which offers great power to swing coupled with superior precision and control.

Distribution Channel Insights

Brick & mortar sales channel was the largest segment in 2018. Rising number of exclusive sports stores and multi-brand sports equipment outlets in developing countries including China and India is anticipated to impel the segment growth. For instance, recently, Decathlon S.A., a France-based sporting goods retailer, established one of the biggest stores in Singapore in collaboration with Sport Singapore (SportSG), a national sports agency of Singapore. According to the company, the region is one of the fastest-growing consumer centers for sports.
