Global Participative Sport as Consumption: The New Rules of the Game
With increasing sedentary lifestyles helping to drive rising global obesity rates, a growing number of consumers are becoming increasingly interested in participating in sport as both a way of keeping fit and healthy and a means of self-expression. This shift in behaviour, which spans the generational divide from baby boomer retirees to generation Y and even children, is helping to drive strong demand growth in markets as varied as sports apparel, energy drinks and consumer electronics.
