COVID-19 IMPACT

Badminton Shuttlecock Industry Had a negative Effect Due to Disruption of Production and Supply Chains during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The pandemic started with lockdowns and restrictions that seriously disrupted manufacturing. Ninety percent of the world's shuttlecocks are produced in China, but they faced a difficult situation. When factories closed and there was a lack of workers, progress was interrupted and less was produced.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

Rising Popularity of Badminton as a Recreational and Competitive Sport to Drive Market Advancement

One of the key driving factors in the Badminton Shuttlecock market growth is Rising Popularity of Badminton as a Recreational and Competitive Sport. People everywhere are becoming more interested in badminton as both a hobby and a serious sport. Due to its simple rules, need for very little extra gear and compatibility at any age, badminton is gaining popularity in schools, colleges and community groups.

Growth in Indoor Sports Infrastructure to Expand the Market

Because indoor sports facilities are being built in urban and semi-urban areas, badminton is now easier for many to access. Many governments and private groups are spending money on sports venues like complexes, gymnasiums and badminton arenas. More people are now able to play badminton all year round due to these new courts which has also boosted shuttlecock sales.

Restraining Factor

High Cost of Feather Shuttlecocks Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth

Making shuffles with goose or duck feathers is the standard of choice for professional players. Taking a lot of raw materials and manpower to make results in higher prices. As a result such games are not ideal for amateurs and are rarely played in schools and recreational places that want to save money.

Growth of Fitness and Wellness Trends in Emerging Markets to Create Opportunity for the Product in the Market

Opportunity

Badminton is viewed as an easy, affordable and good exercise for your heart. As health and fitness trends spread, more and more people are choosing sports to stay healthy and badminton is becoming a top choice. People who care about their health encourage more amateurs to play which drives increased sales of shuttlecocks for schools, community centers and clubs.

Durability and Performance Issues Could Be a Potential Challenge for Consumers

Challenge

Combining strength and great performance is often difficult for engineers. Many players pick feather shuttlecocks for their smooth flight, but since they wear out easily during hard play, most resorts go with plastic shuttlecocks. This results in devices that break easily, so people have to replace them often which can be costly and sometimes makes recreational players think twice before continuing to play.
