Pickleball is about to be worth more on the global market than ever before.
A new report from Market.us projects the sport's value to skyrocket from $1.9 billion in 2023 to $7.9 billion by 2033. That’s a 15.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next decade, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in sports.
So, what’s driving this financial surge?
The money behind the boom

The demand for paddles, balls, nets, apparel, and footwear has never been higher, with equipment sales leading the market at 41.5% of total revenue in 2023.
But it doesn’t stop at gear. The sport’s rapid rise is fueling:
Court construction – New facilities are popping up everywhere, from dedicated pickleball clubs to repurposed tennis courts.
Tournament growth – Prize money is increasing, sponsorships are rolling in, and events are drawing bigger crowds.
Training programs – More players means more coaching, clinics, and instructional content.
Digital sales dominance – 55.8% of pickleball purchases in 2023 happened online.
Simply put, pickleball isn’t just a game anymore—it’s an economic powerhouse.
North America leads, global growth coming
Right now, North America dominates the pickleball market, holding a 42.9% share and generating $830 million in revenue in 2023.
The U.S. leads the charge, thanks to over 8.9 million players and strong backing from organizations like the PPA Tour.
But don’t sleep on the international market. Pickleball is surging in:
Europe – Countries like Spain, the UK, and Germany are catching on fast, with clubs and leagues multiplying.
Australia & Asia-Pacific – The sport’s simplicity and health benefits are driving major interest.
Latin America – An emerging hotbed for new players and facilities.
