DRIVING FACTORS

"Usage of Advanced Materials Over Traditional Materials like Wood to Amplify Market Growth"

Several factors are rapidly driving the market growth and development. Manufacturers are designing tennis rackets to optimize power and control. This will help in catering to players who rely on aggressive baseline play and powerful shots. Such rackets usually have a medium to large head size. This in turn provides a generous sweet spot that very easily allows consistent ball striking.

Carbon fiber and graphite are the two most widely used materials for producing rackets. The main reason for using these materials is that they create strong frames which are completely lightweight. Players can make explosive shot-making while maintaining stability using these frames. The string pattern is scientifically studies and often made denser to maximize ball spin and control. All of the above-mentioned factors are driving the tennis rackets market share.

"Integration of Shock-Absorbing Technologies and Vibration Dampening Systems to Propel Market Growth "

Along with the above-mentioned factors there several others that support the optimum growth of the tennis rackets market. Along with increasing the performance another important factor that players focus on is the comfort criteria. Comfort is considered to be paramount and cannot be neglected. Therefore, vibration dampening systems and shock-absorbing features are integrated into many rackets to ensure comfort for the players. Vibration dampening systems play an important role in reducing the strain and decrease any chance of injury. Maneuverability is also a very crucial factor that is required for quick reactions and agile movement. This is usually achieved through balanced weight distribution and aerodynamic frame designs. All of these factors are driving the market growth and development.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Investments Along with Material Costs and Manufacturing Processes to Decrease Market Growth"

Even with several advancements there are certain factors that can decrease the market development. Regulation constraints which include size and weight limitations can be detrimental to market growth These rules are usually set by governing bodies like the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
