Synthèse
The global sports events market has shown resilience and continued growth despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, it was valued at $184.61 billion, with a projected CAGR of 10.5% to 2031. The sports economy in France represents 2.6% of the country's GDP, with fluctuations observed between 2017 and 2022 due to the pandemic. By 2020, French household spending on sport had fallen to 18.8 billion euros, but by 2021 an increase was seen, reaching 20.8 billion euros. The market for sports event organization in France was estimated at around 32.6 million euros in 2020, with an upward trend expected thereafter. This market growth is influenced by factors such as digital broadcasting, event sponsorship (contributing 43.1% of revenues in 2021) and technological advances that facilitate participation in events. Public support and major players such as ASO, OC Sport and digitally-sensitive GAFAs contribute to this dynamism. However, concerns such as security and political interference pose significant challenges to the market's progress.
French sports events market: Navigating through digital transformation and public perception
The French sports events market presents a dynamic economic landscape, driven by a series of international events that attract worldwide attention while resisting economic downturns. France's penchant for staging successful recurring events, such as the French Open and Tour de France, as well as one-offs like the Euro soccer championships, strengthens its position in the global sports industry. With the Rugby World Cup in 2023 and the much-anticipated Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, the market is set to benefit significantly.
Beyond traditional event management, the market is also integrating evolving segments such as digital broadcasting and e-sports, catapulting itself into the future of media consumption. From a statistical point of view, the French sports events market has had its ups and downs, but its resilience is evident with an increase of over 10% the following year, renewing its contribution to around 0.8% of the country's GDP.
Public interest in sporting events is enjoying a significant revival, illustrated by record attendance figures. The French Open attracted more than 600,000 spectators, while soccer championships attracted between 8 and 10 million fans. The illustrious 24 Hours of Le Mans also celebrated its centenary with a staggering attendance of over 300,000 enthusiasts. These figures underline not only the cultural impact of sport in France, but also its potential for economic stimulation in the wake of the pandemic. The transition to digital platforms has played a crucial role in reaching wider and more diverse audiences, particularly among young people.
This is reflected in the increasing use of smartphones and tablets to watch sporting events, with France a hotbed of digital sports content consumption. This trend calls for versatility and innovation on the part of event organizers, who must turn to modern, adaptable broadcasting methods. One striking observation is the evolution of public sentiment towards the organization of major international competitions. Notably, around a third of the French population takes a dim view of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Residents of the capital, in particular, are very concerned about the potential disruption associated with the event, reflecting a notable increase in skepticism over the past two years. This sentiment is compounded by significant doubts about security, transport efficiency and service quality.
The French sports events market boasts a constellation of key players, each bringing their expertise and influence to bear on shaping the sector.
- Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) Leading the pack is sporting powerhouse ASO, best known for organizing some of the world's most iconic and grueling competitions. With the Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix and the Dakar Rally to its credit, ASO not only dominates cycling and motor sports, but also influences the media through its sports newspaper, L'Équipe. Ownership of these premier events makes ASO an industry titan, orchestrating events that not only capture the imagination of sports enthusiasts, but also attract a massive global audience.
- Lagardère Sports (now part of H.I.G. Capital)** Formerly a sports marketing giant under the Lagardère Group umbrella, Lagardère Sports underwent a strategic change following the acquisition of its majority stake by H.I.G. Capital. Prior to this transition, Lagardère Sports played an important role in negotiating contracts with international sports organizations and in shaping the marketing dynamics of sports sponsorship and advertising.
- GL Events A versatile player with a worldwide presence, GL Events manages venues and participates in the organization of large-scale trade shows and conventions, including sporting events. Its mastery of logistics and innovative approach to event management enable it to contribute not only to execution, but also to enhancing the spectator experience.
- Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO ) ASO remains a major authority on the French sporting events market, known for organizing world-class competitions that demand precision, professionalism and the ability to capture the public's interest. Its management of the Tour de France alone makes it a key institution, bringing the legacy of French sporting traditions to the world stage.
The market thrives on the symbiotic relationships between these entities and public bodies, associations and a cohort of volunteers, all dedicated to the rigorous and triumphant execution of sporting events that continue to captivate audiences the world over. While France's ability to host and organize sporting spectacles is often a matter of national pride, it is the concerted effort and skill of these key players that turns ambition into reality.
