The global baseball equipment market size is expected to reach USD 22.03 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Extensive popularity of sports due to media coverage of tournaments and leagues is encouraging the youth and adults to participate in the sport.
In addition, the global market is expected to witness an augmented growth on account of government initiatives on encouraging participation for baseball among the customers in U.S. and Canada. For instance, in February 2019, the U.S. Government launched a four day, both on and off field athlete development program to provide better guidance to the participants.
