Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in the number of baby-boomer visitors is a key factor notably driving the amusement park market growth. Baby boomers are the cohorts following the silent generation and are associated with the rejection or the redefinition of traditional values. They are considered the wealthiest, most active, and healthiest population. Baby boomers are increasingly targeted by marketers, owing to their strong desire for novelty, authentic experiences, and willingness to participate in adventurous activities.
The rise in the number of baby-boomer visitors is likely to drive the growth of the global amusement park market, as amusement parks offer expensive and thrilling rides. The increase in the number of baby boomers will drive the demand for 4D rides, giant rides, and challenging roller coasters. The increase in innovations in roller coasters and other theme-park rides will attract more baby-boomer visitors. This will fuel the growth of the global amusement park market during the forecast period.
The rise in the popularity of IoT-enabled theme parks is a popular trend influencing the amusement park market growth. The IoT is revolutionizing different operations in amusement parks. It helps transmit and record customers' information easily. It provides customers with well-connected amenities and a unique experience using beacons and sensors. Certain applications of IoT-enabled theme parks help parents track their children's movements with the help of sensors that are present throughout the park.
The IoT wristband functions as a passport and serves as an entrance ticket for guests, and facilitates credit-card transactions. IoT-enabled theme parks also help identify the areas of improvement as they track and monitor all the activities related to the park. Such factors will drive the amusement park market.
The risks associated with amusement parks are major challenges impeding the amusement park market growth. Amusement parks are great sources of entertainment and offer unique, thrilling experiences to customers. However, instances of natural and man-made accidents are some of the associated risks that have been reported. Most of the incidents are reported as a result of the lack of maintenance of the rides, mechanical faults, and negligence of the ride operators.
Amusement park ride safety is a major concern of the operators. Rides such as roller coasters, bumper cars, spinning rides, and water slides are reported to be the most accident-prone rides. Most of the people that access these rides are children, and every year, around 60%-80% of children are prone to such accidents. Therefore, the risks associated with these rides are likely to limit the growth of the market during the forecast period.
