Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 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 consumer preference for adventure sports is notably driving the market growth. There has been an increase in consumer interest in adventure sports such as river rafting, bowhunting, and paragliding recently. Various television ads, movies, and videos that portray these sports attract people to try them. Although this sport in fields and other proper facilities has been popular among consumers traditionally, leveraging technology platforms to engage effectively with consumers is a relatively recent phenomenon. Several new online and mobile application-based games, such as Archery Master 3D, Archery King, and Archery World Cup, are available in the market; these games have played a significant role in keeping the market buoyant and spreading awareness of the sport.
Moreover, changing demographics and lifestyles and increasing per capita income, along with an increase in recreation-related expenditure, have helped in increasing the popularity of and enrolment in various outdoor sports. The inclusion of the sport in global tournaments like the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games, and regional tournaments like the Asian Cup and the European Cup is also helping in promoting the game worldwide. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Multi-channel distribution is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. This is now easily available in the market through different well-established offline retail formats such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, department stores, and specialty sports retailers. There has also been an upsurge in online retailing of this sport equipment. The companies in the market are actively marking their online presence through various online retailing platforms such as Amazon and Alibaba. For instance, PSE Archery is selling its products through websites such as Amazon and Alibaba, and Bear Archery is selling its products through offline retailers as well as third-party online retailers such as Amazon.
However, the multi-channel distribution format provides market companies with relatively high visibility and opportunities to engage with customers of different age groups. Over the coming years, the multi-channel distribution strategy is expected to be explored by various companies, especially by those trying to cater to the relatively less-penetrated markets in APAC. These factors will drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Big game species included for hunting are mule deer, white-tailed deer, fall Turkey, fall javelina, bighorn sheep, fall buffalo, fall bear, and mountain lion.
In addition, strict government laws against hunting, such as the Wildlife Protection Act 1972, Hunting Act 2004, and Animal Welfare Act 1966, are affecting the sales of and demand for this sport equipment. Moreover, the high penalties on people found hunting restrict the practice. This brings down the sales of bowhunting equipment. Therefore, hunting restrictions will hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
