As the global sporting community descends upon Paris for Future of Sport organised by VivaTech with Global Sports Week, Two Circles has partnered with the leading France-based sports trade event to produce an in-depth and insight-led study on the significant commercial opportunity for the French sports industry - as it is gears up to enter a Golden Decade of Sport.
The extensive Two Circles report predicts that the value of the French sports economy is expected to reach €7.8 billion by 2032 - a remarkable growth of 97% from €4.0 billion today.
Elsewhere, the study focuses on five key areas identified among other, as priorities in the development of sport and the French sport economy in the years to come:
The legacy of major international events in France
The harnessing of digital sport and direct-to-consumer strategies
The development and promotion of women’s sport
The advancement of ‘event day’ strategy
...and the international expansion of France’s biggest sporting institutions
A 10-page executive summary of the report which includes datasets, infographics and other key insights is available to you in the attachments or via this link, and the full report will be available on Friday 16 June.
