Pole Vault Equipment Market Research, 2031
The global pole vault equipment market was valued at $112 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $150.8 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2022 to 2031. The popularity of pole vaulting as a sport is rising. Equipment for pole vaults that is more technologically advanced and secure is increasing in demand. A growing number of companies are also interested in offering pole vaulting gear and accessories.
Private clubs, organizations, and educational organizations frequently use pole vault equipment, including pole vault pits. Pole vault equipment producers are working hard to match the rising expectations of these end consumers by expanding production and creating better pole vault equipment. In addition to improvements in pole vault equipment materials, manufacturers have developed inflatable pole vault pits to encourage innovation in the landing gear. Regular foam no longer needs to be used due to the inflatable pole vault pits. Furthermore, they provide vaulters with a varied landing mechanism and boost their results. Additionally, inflatable pole vault pits may be stored in any metal container, independent of the weather. This feature of performance enhancement mixed with safety is expected to drive demand for inflatable pole vault pits, driving the pole vault equipment market growth in the coming years.
Pole vault equipment, particularly the pole material, has not gone through much advancement. Bamboo was replaced by aluminum and then fiberglass as the pole material. Despite the introduction of cutting-edge innovations like inflatable pits, manufacturers of pole vault equipment have not yet explored further advancements in material design, which limits the development potential. Nevertheless, during the course of the evaluation year, the pole vault equipment market demand is anticipated to grow slowly.
Pole vaulting equipment has the potential to grow in popularity as the sport grows in popularity. This is due to the fact that more individuals participating in the sport would require varied equipment to improve their performance and ensure their safety during practice and competition. Pole vaulting equipment comprises poles, landing pads, spikes, and protective apparel. The demand for this type of equipment will increase in tandem with the number of persons participating in the activity. Furthermore, new market opportunities may emerge as a consequence of technical and material advances in the development of pole-vaulting equipment. Due to the sport's continuous worldwide popularity, there may be opportunities for market expansion. This would enable retailers and manufacturers of pole vaulting equipment to enter new markets while connecting with more people. .
