Catching the rising tide – investing in women’s sport

Women’s sport is growing – fast. Revenue is estimated to grow to £1bn by 2030. However, despite this growth and increasing interest and optimism, women’s sport remains a blue ocean from an investment perceptive – an unexploited or relatively uncontested market space. Men’s sport, by comparison, is congested – the metaphoric ocean is well-established and commercially mature - with investors tripping over each other to find a return.

This joint report with The Sports Consultancy (TSC) showcases the current ecosystem and identifies what opportunities exist in women’s sport and how to take advantage of these opportunities. By understanding the status of women’s sport and the barriers that are preventing its growth, new ways can be identified to invest in order to achieve returns by growing the sport for everyone.

This report discusses:

  • The rise of women’s sport
  • Optimising growth
  • Capitalising on an untapped market
  • Boosting returns by stimulating the sport
