Bowling Alleys in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Striking gold: The industry forms a small yet fast-growing part of the UK leisure economy

Bowling alleys revenue is anticipated to jump at a compound annual rate of 4.1% to £495.6 million over the five years through 2023-24. The industry is dominated by two major chains, Hollywood Bowl and Ten Entertainment. As a result, the industry's performance is heavily tied to their performance. Nonetheless, the industry has trended upwards, as bowling is a diverse out-of-the-house leisure activity, offering a competitively priced experience and broad appeal. The two major chains have expanded their number of UK bowling centres by over 10% between 2017 and 2022, fuelling revenue growth.

Companies in this industry primarily operate bowling alleys. Establishments often sell food and beverages.
