The generative artificial intelligence (AI) in sports market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.28 billion in 2025 to $0.36 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to manual performance tracking, reliance on traditional coaching methods, growth of sports analytics software, adoption of wearable tracking devices, expansion of digital fan engagement platforms.
The generative artificial intelligence (AI) in sports market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.9 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of AI with immersive vr/ar training experiences, adoption of predictive analytics for player performance, ai-based injury risk management, expansion of cloud-based sports analytics platforms, growth in multi-sport AI solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include ai-driven player performance analysis, predictive game strategy modeling, ai-based injury prevention and training simulation, sports equipment design optimization using ai, multi-sport analytics platforms.
The growing number of sports injuries is expected to drive the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the sports market in the coming years. A sports injury refers to any harm or damage to the body that occurs during sports, exercise, or athletic activities. Generative AI can help prevent sports injuries by creating realistic training scenarios that allow athletes to practice proper techniques and identify potential injury risks within a safe, controlled environment. For example, in October 2024, Insideworldfootball, a UK-based news service, reported that sports injuries totaled 4,123 during the 2023-24 season, representing a 4% increase compared with the 2022-23 season. Therefore, the rising number of sports injuries is contributing to the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the sports market.
Leading companies in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) sports market are strategically leveraging collaborations to deliver digital products and services, gaining a competitive advantage. Strategic collaborations involve formal or informal agreements between multiple parties working toward a common goal while retaining their independence. For example, in August 2023, Globant, a US-based software development company, and LaLiga Tech, a Spain-based company providing digital tools to the sports and entertainment industry, joined forces with Microsoft to develop a range of artificial intelligence (AI) services for sports technology. This collaboration combines sports industry expertise with IT sector knowledge, harnessing technologies such as AI and blockchain to enhance sports data and improve the experience for millions of fans globally. Microsoft, a US-based technology corporation, serves as a key provider of generative AI platforms across various industries.
