Thus, the demand for golf equipment due to rising golf tourism is boosting market growth.
COVID-19 has harmed the market due to the widespread lockdown and societal conventions of seclusion. Most golf is played in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania, which were severely affected by the epidemic and saw a fall in demand for golf equipment. Sports were put on hold with immediate effect, and the 3,000 golf clubs in the UK were compelled to close economic simulation. The governments estimated the financial impact of the lockdown on the golf business to support the argument to the Government for golf's safe return to play. But after the middle of the year, things started to get easier owing to better sales and market expansion.

The sporting goods retailer segment was a significantly high revenue share in 2021
Increased manufacturer focus on showcasing their products in these shops and the development of the retail sector, including hypermarkets and retail shops, will further favor market growth. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are among the most frequently visited retail facilities, mostly in big cities and metropolitan areas, due to their accessibility and proximity to residential areas. Due to these factors, equipment suppliers showcase their product lines through these channels to connect with a larger audience of buyers.
Specialty shops that sell golf equipment have focused on improving clients' tailored shopping experiences on a global scale. The majority of specialty shops see to it that the needs of their clients are addressed, and some may even provide beneficial recommendations based on previous purchases. As a result, the vast majority of golfers prefer physical stores.
The golf clubs segment industry accounted for the highest market share in 2021
Consumer demand is increasing due to manufacturer innovation in clubs, such as hybrid clubs comprised of higher-lofted wood and iron, which are becoming increasingly popular. For instance, in January 2022, Callaway Golf, a market-leading golf equipment, apparel, and amusement provider, officially unveiled its new Rogue Collection of Drivers, Fairway Woods, Irons, and Hybrids. The extended longevity of iron clubs might have a significant impact on the product repurchase cycle, which is limiting the segment's growth.
Golf Footwear is expected to hold the significant revenue share
A developing trend in the market is footwear for young people, as they provide the player with more comfort and flexibility than traditional shoes. For instance, in June 2021, Adidas introduced the Solarthon, a golf shoe that is both comfy and light. This results from the shoe's Fishcale Traxion outsole, which enhances grip and durability, and the silhouette's comprised entirely boosted midsole, which offers comfort. Additionally, the company plans to release limited-edition grey, blue, and white color variations of Solarthon. To support the company's "End Plastic Waste" effort, the shoe has an upper made of recycled yarn with at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic from Adidas.
The demand in Europe is expected to witness significant growth
The demand for golf equipment is rising rapidly across the European region due to the rising awareness of physical activity and the availability of different material golf types of equipment in the region—golfers all around Europe on a variety of clubs that can be used for various shots. The clubs come in different types and materials, such as wedges, putters, hardwoods, irons, and hybrids. For rainy, rough, and soft ground, there is also a great need for attractive, lightweight shoes.
The increased interest in physical fitness and the actual workout provided by playing golf can be ascribed to the rise in golf equipment and apparel use. During the forecast period, this is anticipated to boost the European market. To introduce the game to millions of individuals of all ages, the “International Golf Federation” runs numerous European initiatives and events. The rise in middle-class money and the recent increase of female golfers in Europe are other factors contributing to the rising demand.
Moreover, consumer spending is driving the Asia-Pacific region's growth. Many of the world's population now plays golf, and the region has a growing middle class with more discretionary cash, which bodes well for the golf equipment industry. An increasing number of golf events and participants are a primary factor driving golf equipment sales. The time players devote to honing their swings while employing the appropriate equipment, including clubs, gloves, and other gear, is a major contributing cause to the high concentration of professional players in the area. The elements above are anticipated to increase consumer demand for golf equipment.
