Sport : de nouvelles tendances favorisent l’émergence d’opportunités de taille

Boosté par toujours plus d’investissements et d’innovation, le sport poursuit son évolution et les entreprises les mieux préparées au changement s’imposent face à la concurrence.

Pour les structures, partenaires et investisseurs, le sport regorge d’opportunités commerciales, en plus de s’affirmer plus compétitif que jamais sur la scène internationale. Mis sur la touche pendant la pandémie, le retour en force du sport confirme que la flamme brûle toujours chez les supporters du monde entier, ce qui encourage les équipes et ligues à développer leurs fanbases et à viser une expansion internationale. En parallèle, les prix des droits de diffusion, franchises et activités connexes connaissent une croissance significative, et qui semble partie pour durer. À l’avenir, les investissements et acquisitions dans le milieu du sport seront ainsi conditionnés par les tendances clés de la consommation de contenu, les technologies émergentes et l’engagement des fans dans un contexte particulièrement favorable.

Altman Solon’s 2022 Global Sports Survey, which gauged sports interest, viewership and preferences, and fandom among 17,000 respondents in 17 countries across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, reveals many opportunities for sports entities through changing fandom, growth in women’s sports, evolving content consumption, emerging digital technologies, and expansion into adjacent businesses. 

The business side of sports has never presented more opportunities or been more globally competitive. The prices of media rights, franchises, and other sports-adjacent businesses have shown significant growth with no slow-down in sight, with several billion-dollar transactions in the last year alone. As sports has come roaring back since the pandemic, strong viewership, attendance, and engagement signal that sports continues to offer an attractive value proposition for fans and business opportunities for commercial partners and investors.

Interest in sports remains strong with fans across the globe, encouraging leagues and teams to look abroad to increase their fanbases and drive growth. Strong interest in sports has returned since the pandemic and translates into TV consumption of and willingness to pay for sports content. While Altman Solon’s survey reinforces that soccer is the most global popular sport, many sports are reaching and finding international audiences.

Growing investment and M&A in sports as well as strong interest from fans are driven by key trends and developments impacting sports properties and their partners/investors including: 

  • Changing fandom: Fan perspectives are evolving with expectations of direct engagement with properties, preferences for shorter-form, “snackable” content, and engagement with a wider range of organizations 
  • Growth in women’s sports: Women’s sports have stepped into the spotlight as European soccer leagues invest heavily in their associated women’s leagues, popularity of women’s sports in the U.S. reaches new heights 
  • Evolving content consumption: More AR & VR options have attracted fans to this new technology, promising engaged viewing experiences and creating new ways for fans to engage with their favorite leagues and teams 
  • Emerging digital technologies: The adoption of cryptocurrency and NFTs in sports expands at the league, team, and athlete levels, generating substantial revenue for rights holders while also creating deeper fan engagement 
  • Expansion into adjacent business opportunities: Opportunities adjacent to sports, such as betting and gaming, continue to become more prevalent and lucrative, opening new channels with an engaged, attractive demographic  

Altman Solon will release survey results and analysis over the next several months on:  

  • Key trends and developments reshaping/impacting the world of sports and what it means for properties, media partners, and investors
  • How emerging technologies (AR/VR/NFTs/crypto) transform fan consumption and engagement  
  • Where fans want (new) sports viewing/engagement experiences 
  • How sports fans can be segmented and targeted 
  • Where fans participate in sports betting and gaming
