The emergence of new sports leagues is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. The rise of new sporting events worldwide is creating fresh opportunities for sponsorships across a variety of sports.

Therefore, the lack of efficient tools for measuring ROI can discourage sponsors from investing in sporting events around the world. Hence, these factors are expected to impede sports sponsorship market growth during the forecast period.
