The Business Research Company’s Analysis Of The Impact Of COVID-19 On The Sports Global Market 2020 And Market Forecast To 2030

Ever since the pandemic started, countries worldwide are suffering from economic setbacks and supply chain disruptions. The strict quarantine measures taken by governments had halted worldwide operations. A significant impact of the virus was seen on the global sports market, as stringent social distancing measures were implemented to prevent the spread of the virus.

The global sports market reached a value of nearly $388.3 billion in 2020, having increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% since 2015The market has declined from $458.8 billion in 2019 to $388.3 billion in 2020 at a rate of -15.4%. The decline is mainly due to lockdown and social distancing norms imposed by various countries and economic slowdown across countries owing to the COVID-19 outbreak and the measures to contain it.

The COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting all major sources of income for sports, including broadcastingcommercial, and ticketing, and hospitality revenues. Besides broadcasting and commercial activity that is losing out revenues, many clubs, players, and staff are losing out on their incomes. For example, in a professional league, the organizing body disburses the total income generated by the league to the participating clubs. This ensures a minimum flow of revenue to the clubs. However, with the suspension of sports, it has become difficult for small and medium clubs to keep themselves afloat.

During lockdown and post lockdown, there has been an increase in media consumption. In the absence of live games, the sports industry is trying to capitalize on the surge in media consumption by telecasting classic games, archived content, and documentaries. Individual leagues are following the same. For example, the NFL has made all games played since 2009 available for streaming on its direct-to-consumer channel Game Pass. This strategy has resulted in a 500-fold increase in sign-ups.

The Business Research Company’s report titled Sports Global Market Opportunities And Strategies To 2030 covers major sports market companies, sports market share by company, sports market size, and sports market forecasts.

The report also covers the global sports market and its segments. The global sports market is segmented by type into participatory sports and spectator sports and by revenue source into media rights, sponsorship, merchandising, and tickets. The top opportunities in the sports market segmented by type will arise in the participatory sports segment, which will gain $136.7 billion of global annual sales by 2025. The top opportunities in the sports market segmented by revenue source will arise in the sponsorship segment, which will gain $71.1 billion of global annual sales by 2025.

Sports Global Market Opportunities And Strategies To 2030 is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provide market overviews, analyze and forecast sports market size and growth for the whole market, sports market segments and geographies, sports market trends, sports market drivers, sports market restraints, sports market-leading competitors’ revenues, profiles and market shares in over 1,000 industry reports, covering over 2,500 market segments and 60 geographies. The report also gives an in-depth analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on the market.

The global sports market is highly fragmented, with a large number of players in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 1.6% of the total market in 2019.  Major players in the market include Maruhan, Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, Manchester United Football Club, and Futball Club Barcelona.

Celebrated strategy game The Battle of Polytopia confirms its first ever World Championships has exceeded expectations with over 10,000 sign-ups in its qualifying rounds. While no stranger to tournaments, previously hosting smaller scale, local tournaments called ‘Polysseums’, developer Midjiwan’s first step into global esports has been met with extreme success. The inclusive esports event has a $10,000 prize pool and will conclude on 6 December 2025, 14:00-21:00.

The finals will take place in front of a live-studio audience, with expert commentary and a chance to peek behind the scenes at Midjiwan itself. First place will receive $4,000, the runner-up will take away $2,000, the third and fourth place finishers will get $1,500, and the fifth and sixth place $500.

The Polytopia World Championship 2025 is being hosted by eSports platform, Challengermode, who Midjiwan has relied on for its monthly local tournaments since 2022.

Midjiwan has worked closely with its community to ensure engagement is high with each round, building a bespoke ‘Spectator Mode’ into the game so fans can watch each game live through the game itself. In the spectator mode the viewer has visibility of all players simultaneously, with stats on how many cities, technologies, kills and more available for quick access.

Christian Lovstedt, CEO of Midjiwan commented:
“Polytopia has always been about welcoming all kinds of players into the world of 4X strategy. That’s why our championship is open to everyone – not just pros with sponsors. We’ve been thrilled at the amount of interest this tournament received from our community, reaching participation numbers way beyond our expectations. We’re excited to bring the finalists to Stockholm and can’t wait to see the strategies that emerge.”

Second Prize Drop of N1 Puzzle Promo: Top Affiliates Score Porsche, Cartier, Leica & Apple for Driving High-Quality Traffic

Published

on

N1 Partners is wrapping up the second lottery of the N1 Puzzle Promo! From September 1 to November 30, partners were actively collecting puzzle pieces for FTDs and climbing the rankings to secure their place among the winners.

A notable trend this season: the Top-5 leaders by traffic and collected puzzles differ from the main leaderboard. This means some partners slowed down, while others pushed harder — and now have every chance to boost their position in the overall standings by the end of the promo.

Five luxury prizes will be awarded to partners with consistently strong performance who entered the Top-5 by puzzle count during the second mini-lottery period.

Which prizes did the leaders receive?

1st place — MacBook Pro

C*** *****h

2nd place — Porsche eBike Sport

A***********t

3rd place — Cartier Santos Medium watch

T****** ****d

4th place — Leica Q2 camera

P******k

5th place — Apple Vision Pro

S** ****s

The promo is entering its final stretch — a crucial checkpoint for the entire N1 Puzzle Promo, where the fate of the leaderboard may be decided,” notes Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners. “With one month left until the end, even those who joined later still have a chance to make a breakthrough, while the leaders can strengthen their positions and widen the gap. N1 Puzzle Promo isn’t about luck — it’s about consistent work and mutual trust between partners and the affiliate program.”

The Grand Finale in Barcelona Is Getting Closer

The race continues: the more puzzle pieces collected throughout the promo, the higher the ranking — and the greater the chance to fly out of Barcelona in your very own helicopter!

On January 20, 2026, in Barcelona, during iGB Affiliate and ICE, N1 Partners will host the final N1 Puzzle Promo party, where winners will receive exclusive gifts — and the grand prize: a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter.

Guests of the event can also expect:

  • Exclusive prize ceremony;
  • Live performance by top artists and the evening’s headliner (announcement coming soon)!
  • Activities and surprises from the N1 Partners team;

Still Not Too Late to Join

N1 Puzzle Promo runs until December 31, 2025, and partners still have time to collect puzzle pieces, climb the leaderboard, and compete for the grand prize and additional rewards. Traffic from Tier-1 GEOs counts toward the ranking, and only registered N1 Partners partners can participate.

All details and registration are available at: https://n1.partners/puzzle_promo

There’s still time! Collect your puzzle pieces, level up in the leaderboard — and your team might be the one taking home the Robinson R22 Beta II right off the stage in Barcelona!
