Sports & Outdoors Market Update: February 2025

By Founders Advisors

Feb 17 2025

In this edition of Founders Sports & Outdoors Market Update, our Consumer team shares valuable insights from the industry.

Despite ongoing challenges from elevated interest rates and persistent inflation, consumer discretionary spending in the Sports & Outdoors sector has grown in line with increasing outdoor participation rates. While 2024’s M&A landscape has been dynamic, with many deals remaining on the sidelines, we believe that the M&A market is poised for positive momentum into 2025.

Our newsletter also includes insights highlighting:

  • Market Snapshot: M&A Activity, Public Market Trends, and Active Market Participants
  • Entrepreneurs’ Corner: Curated Content for Sports & Outdoors Sector
  • Valuation and Operating Metrics: Analysis of Key Performance Indicators
  • About Us: Founders Advisors Overview and Transaction Experience
