The Asia Pacific holds a significant portion of the cricket equipment market share due to the presence of major cricket bat manufacturing countries like India, Pakistan, and Australia in the region. The rising popularity of cricket in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as well as the growing fan base for cricket teams create opportunities for the market. As per a report by the International Cricket Council, the Indian subcontinent constitutes over 90% of cricket’s one billion fans.
With over 808 million people under the age of 35, or around 66% of the overall population, India has the largest young population in the world. Producers take advantage of this opportunity by producing youth-oriented and entry-level equipment that fits the growing requirements of young cricket players. Youth-specific cricket gear, like protective gear, training aids, and lightweight bats, is becoming more crucial for skill development and fostering an interest towards the game.
Leading sports events influence the cricket equipment demand. In October 2023, Sanspareils Greenlands (SG) (NYSE: SG), the largest cricket gear manufacturer in the world, dramatically increased production in anticipation of a spike in demand for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. At the SG factory, which produces cricket equipment for numerous Indian and international cricket stars, workers in the Meerut plant ferociously sawed, shaved, and chiselled wooden logs to give shape to more than 1,500 cricket bats a day.
