They provide comfort and safety for spectators and help enhance the overall fan experience. These goods come in different sizes, shapes, and materials, depending on the specific needs of the venue and the event. Fixed stadium seats are the most common type of seating solution used in stadiums and sports arenas. They are typically made of plastic, metal, or other durable materials and are designed to withstand wear and tear from constant use. Some stadiums also offer premium seating options such as luxury boxes or VIP suites, which typically come with plush seating arrangements and additional amenities.

Portable and temporary seating solutions are also available for outdoor events and concerts. These may include foldable chairs or bleacher-style seating that can be set up quickly and easily. Stadium cushions are another popular accessory for sports fans. They come in different materials such as foam, gel, or inflatable designs and can be customized with team logos or other branding. Stadium cushions provide additional comfort and support for fans, especially during long games or events.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic decreased the Market Demand

Due to the social distancing measures and restrictions on large gatherings, many sports events have been canceled, postponed, or held without spectators. As a result, there has been a decrease in the demand for stadium seats and cushions, and the industry has faced significant losses. In addition, many sports organizations and stadiums have faced financial difficulties due to the pandemic's impact, and they have been forced to cut back on their spending on stadium upgrades and renovations, including new seats and cushions.

LATEST TRENDS

Smart seating technology to Fuel Market Growth

Smart seating technology uses sensors and data analytics to provide real-time information about seat occupancy, queue lengths, and other useful data to help optimize stadium operations and enhance the fan experience. Some stadiums have already begun to adopt this technology, and it is expected to become more widespread in the coming years. There is growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly stadium seating solutions. Some companies are developing seats made from recycled materials, while others are exploring the use of renewable energy to power stadium lighting and other systems.

• Olympic venue reuse: 92% of permanent Olympic venues from the 21st century remain in use, driving demand for long-life seating and refurbishment projects.
