Ahead of the world’s first-ever all-racket-sports extravaganza, which is set to take place in in Miami from March 24 – 26th, the hosts of RacquetX have conducted a new research report in conjunction with LaneTerralever (LT), a marketing and customer experience agency focused on leisure and entertainment.

Among the dozens of often eye-opening findings revealed in this “Who’s on the Court?” report (which is the fourth in a series of thought leadership publications) are:

  • Close to half (43%) of responders have played more than one sport in the past year or intend to diversify their play.

  • Most people play in their regular gym clothes, unearthing a huge opportunity for brands to market their sports-specific products to this population. Tennis did this in the 1980s with bandanas, visors, and other iconic clothing pieces.

  • Public courts are the most popular place to play. Clubs (including the rapidly-expanding pickleball and padel venues, as well as country clubs) have tremendous growth potential and private/public collaborations will open up access for all market segments.

What’s more, this 22-page report, which you can download here, covers a wide-range of important topics including:

  • Age and income & their impact on sport choice…

  • Fashion and equipment…

  • Where people are playing and why…

  • What brands are most popular…

  • The role of technology in the growth of racket sports…

  • Plus many more…

The report will be presented in its entirety by LT during the RacquetX festivities. A full agenda of the weekend’s events and discussions can be found here, and tickets are still available for purchase here.
