Pickleball Industry
It’s no secret that pickleball is experiencing a surge in popularity. Far from the latest trend, pickleball has been around for over five decades and has long been popular among seniors. Now that people of all ages are getting to know pickleball, it’s become America’s new favorite pastime. With more people than ever seeking out pickleball courts, lessons, and open play, it’s the perfect time to invest in the pickleball industry.
America’s Fastest-Growing Sport
For most of the 2020s, pickleball has been the fastest-growing sport in America. The secret to pickleball’s success is its accessibility. Its slower pace of play makes it easy to learn and master, regardless of age or fitness level. Although many choose to play in teams or leagues, pickleball’s popular “open play” format gives it a social aspect that gets new players hooked even faster. It only takes a game to understand why so many Americans — especially those aged 21 to 34 — have fallen in love with pickleball.
Pickleball Growth by the Numbers
The pickleball craze isn’t fading any time soon. Let’s take a closer look at some recent pickleball growth statistics.
- Over 36.5 million Americans have played pickleball, with 14% of Americans playing at least once in 2022.
- Pickleball has grown at an astonishing rate of 223.5% over the last three years.
- 7.7% annual growth is forecast through 2028.
