Asia Pacific (APAC) and Europe are expected to have the most potential for growth in the tennis equipment manufacturing industry as China's government is promoting a healthier lifestyle and sports participation among its people. Major European countries signal a positive outlook from led by upcoming tournaments such as the Tennis Grand Slam events such as Wimbledon and the French Open championships.
As indicated in Lucintel's study, increasing tennis participation and the popularity of tennis events, expanding the reach of youth tennis, favorable demographic trends and changes, new product technology, and improving product features are crucial to boosting the industry's performance.
