Dublin, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Europe Squash Rackets Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Europe Squash Rackets Market is projected to reach US$ 212,980.7 thousand by 2031, rising from US$ 152,626.1 thousand in 2024. The market is expected to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% from 2025 to 2031. Increasing participation in racket sports, stronger awareness of health and fitness, improved sports infrastructure, and the growing appeal of squash as a recreational and competitive activity are supporting market expansion across the region.
Digital tools are improving access to squash facilities and strengthening player engagement. The European Squash Federation supports the Squash Players App (SPA), which includes an interactive map featuring more than 3,400 squash venues in Europe and 7,000 worldwide. The crowdsourced platform provides updated venue information and demonstrates the scale and continued development of the international squash community.
Investment in regional manufacturing is also expected to reinforce the sporting goods supply chain. Amer Sports has announced expanded manufacturing capabilities in Europe, including a new Nordic ski factory in Bulgaria and plans for an Alpine binding factory in Romania. Greater regional production can reduce reliance on third-party manufacturers, improve responsiveness to demand, and support the availability of sporting equipment. These investments, combined with public programs promoting physical activity and upgraded racket sports facilities, are likely to increase demand for squash rackets in Europe.
The Europe Squash Rackets Market is segmented by racket construction, balance, and distribution channel. Closed Throat rackets accounted for the largest share of the construction segment in 2024, ahead of Open Throat models. By balance, Head Light rackets led the market, while the remaining categories included Head Heavy and Even Balance. Specialty Stores dominated distribution in 2024, followed by Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Online Retail, and other channels.
Strategic partnerships, grassroots programs, and facility investments are creating additional market opportunities. In December 2024, Ashaway partnered with England Squash to support grassroots development and provide prizes at junior championships. In April 2025, new outdoor squash courts funded by Sport England opened in Birmingham, expanding community access and encouraging participation.
International collaborations are also helping brands extend their reach. The global partnership between World Squash and HEAD focuses on sports development and marketing ahead of squash's Olympic debut. The initiative includes equipment support for national federations and development programs in underserved regions, while strengthening HEAD's visibility among players and organizations. Athlete endorsements further support brand credibility by connecting racket performance and product quality with recognized professional competitors.
Product innovation remains central to growth in the Europe squash rackets market. Manufacturers continue to introduce lightweight materials, ergonomic frames, and performance-focused technologies to meet the needs of recreational players and competitive athletes. Tecnifibre launched new models in its Carboflex range in September 2024, featuring updated frames and specifications for the upcoming squash season. GRAYS Squash also relaunched its racket portfolio in August 2022 with options designed for players across multiple skill levels.
Geographically, the market includes Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and other European countries. The UK held the largest market share in 2024, supported by an established squash community, grassroots investment, brand partnerships, and expanded access to facilities. England Squash initiatives, the Ashaway partnership, and Birmingham's outdoor courts illustrate the coordinated efforts underway to attract new participants and sustain long-term engagement.
Leading companies operating in the Europe Squash Rackets Market include Dunlop Sports, HEAD, Karakal, Tecnifibre, VICTOR Europe GmbH, PrinceSquash, Black Knight, Grays Hockey, Harrow Sport, Amer Sports, UNSQUASHABLE, Salming Australia, XamsaSquash, Manta World Sport, and Play Ashaway. These businesses are pursuing manufacturing expansion, product launches, athlete partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and strategic collaborations to strengthen their market positions. Continued investment in innovation, accessibility, grassroots participation, and international promotion is expected to support steady demand for squash rackets throughout Europe through 2031.
