The COVID-19 pandemic has hurt industry performance, particularly through lockdown restrictions on group sizes and indoor activities, slashing sport participation. Despite being subdued over the two years through 2020-21, competition from gyms, fitness centres and general fitness activities like walking and running has reduced industry revenue. Health consciousness and the size of the Australian population have grown, supporting sports instructors. Growth in discretionary income has also made consumers more willing to spend on non-essential products and services like sporting lessons. Revenue is expected to drop at an annualised 0.5% over the five years through 2022-23, to $1.4 billion. This trend includes an anticipated rise of 1.0% in the current year because of increasing sports participation.
