Environment Changes
A looming threat to this industry is the changing demographics of the US population. Persons aged less than 30 years have the
highest participation rates in sporting activities, a key market that will decline in population beyond the outlook period.
A potential target market is the ageing baby boomers. Moving towards retirement, they are increasingly concerned about health and longevity, thus involving themselves with sports and recreational activities.
