Industry Challenges
Increasing Time Spent by younger generation on the Major Media: One of the major challenges for the growth of the sporting goods market in Europe is the increasing time spent on the internet, mobile device games, and other related non-physical activities by the younger generation that has kept many children away from playing sports. In 2018, the average European spent 10 hours and 18 minutes consuming major media every day. In 2016, 91% of young people in the EU made daily use of the internet, compared with 71% for the whole EU population.
