The increased emphasis on IoT is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the premium pricing of smart sports equipment may impede the market growth. 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.
One of the key factors driving growth in the smart sports equipment market is the increased emphasis on the Internet of Things. Smart sports equipment plays a pivotal role in collecting various strands of data, such as player performance, player health level, and various other vital information using various equipment such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, as well as connected football and connected basketballs. This further is complemented by the advent of other smart devices, such as smart helmets. Smart helmets play a pivotal role in injury management due to the presence of impact sensors that notify team coaches, medical teams, and team managers about the possibility of a head injury.
As a result, smart helmets are increasingly being developed and deployed by amateur and pro teams seeking to determine when an athlete is exposed to a potential brain injury. IoT technology is also being increasingly used to manage and maintain training equipment. Therefore, this increased use of IoT in the market is further expected to drive the growth of the global smart sports equipment market.
Increased demand for neurostimulation is the primary trend in the global smart sports equipment market growth. Neurostimulation techniques use electrical or magnetic stimulation to increase nerve activity in the body and have been shown to be beneficial in sports training and performance. One of the main benefits of neurostimulation technology is that it helps improve strength and endurance. This is especially important for athletes looking to push their physical limits. By stimulating the nerves that control muscle movement, neurostimulation can help athletes train harder and recover faster, resulting in improved performance.
Another benefit of neurostimulation technology is that it can help to reduce pain and fatigue during exercise. By stimulating the nerves that control pain and fatigue, neurostimulation can help athletes push through their limits and perform at their best. In addition to these benefits, there has also been growing interest in the use of neurostimulation technology for cognitive training in sports. Hence, owing to various technological innovations in the global smart sports equipment, neurostimulation is gaining prominence, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the market in focus in the forecast period.
The premium pricing of smart sports equipment will be a major challenge for the smart sports equipment market during the forecast period. Although smart sports accessories such as fitness trackers, smartwatches are affordable, with the product cost ranging from USD 15 to USD 30, smart sports equipment such as smart baseball bats and golf sticks and connected basketballs and footballs fall in the premium-priced segment and cannot be afforded by many individual coaches and small sports teams and are purchased by sports clubs with adequate funding to back up their investments.
Moreover, this challenge is more prominent in developing economies wherein individual athletes, sports teams, and team managers do not have adequate financial resources to purchase and use smart sports equipment. Hence, vendors operating in emerging markets try to increase the adoption of their products by offering discounts and various offers. Hence, with the rise in the price of smart sports equipment will act as a barrier to the growth of the market in focus in the forecast period.

Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
