    Tennis Participation in the U.S. Grows to 17.9 Million Players

    Contact: Peter Francesconi [email protected] 203-263-5243 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tennis Participation in the U.S. Grows To 17.9 Million Players Despite a slight decline in key ‘core’ player category, the latest research shows 1% growth overall, with another 14 million Americans showing an interest in playing. HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC (July 27, 2015) — The latest research into the sport of tennis in the U.S. shows that overall tennis participation rose 1% to 17.9 million players, according to the Tennis Industry Association (TIA). The data also show growth in the number of youth tennis players, and indicate more than 14 million Americans, while not tennis players currently, express an interest in playing the sport. But the research, which is part of the TIA’s annual “State of the Industry” and based on year-end numbers from 2014, also indicates the tennis industry faces a number of challenges, including a slightly lower “core player” participation level along with an aging base of core players. In terms of overall participation, there are 17.9 million tennis players in the U.S., up 1% from 2013, according to data from the Physical Activity Council (PAC) 2015 Participation Study, the largest single- source independent sports participation project in the U.S. Core tennis players, who play 10 or more times a year, dipped 1% to 9.91 million in 2014. Core tennis players account for an estimated 90% of total expenditures in the sport. Also, the percentage of adult core players in the 18-to-24 age segment dropped nearly 3%, while core players ages 55-plus increased 1%.

Many of the industry’s product categories feature a few notable firms. At thesametime,middle‐market companies account for the bulk of industry revenues, and CAPSTONE PARTNERS LLC the industry is highly fragmented and competitive. Start‐ups are also fairly common, as 176 Federal Street demand for product innovations and appealing niche brands develops. 3rd Floor Boston, MA 02110 This dynamic creates a robust M&A environment, as large cap corporate buyers seek middle‐market targets to supplement top‐line growth, and start‐ups eventually grow into www.capstonellc.com mid‐sized companies. Private equity investors have traditionally shown a significant amount of interest in the sector, attracted to the fragmentation and the opportunity to capitalize on the growth of “hot” products and brands. In addition, the industry has become increasingly global in terms of both sourcing and sales, and the U.S. has emerged as the worldwide market leader. As a result, acquisitions commonly cross geographic John Ferrara borders and U.S. targets are in high‐demand.
