As the global sporting community descends upon Paris for Future of Sport organised by VivaTech with Global Sports Week, Two Circles has partnered with the leading France-based sports trade event to produce an in-depth and insight-led study on the significant commercial opportunity for the French sports industry - as it is gears up to enter a Golden Decade of Sport.
The extensive Two Circles report predicts that the value of the French sports economy is expected to reach €7.8 billion by 2032 - a remarkable growth of 97% from €4.0 billion today.
Elsewhere, the study focuses on five key areas identified among other, as priorities in the development of sport and the French sport economy in the years to come:
The legacy of major international events in France
The harnessing of digital sport and direct-to-consumer strategies
The development and promotion of women’s sport
The advancement of ‘event day’ strategy
...and the international expansion of France’s biggest sporting institutions
