The emergence of new sports leagues is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market.

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.
