Bowling centers handily recovered from COVID-19 closures but experienced extreme revenue volatility over the last few years. Revenue plummeted because of business closures and shelter-in-place orders in 2020, then spiked in 2021 thanks to rising disposable income propping up discretionary spending. Profit was as volatile as revenue but stabilized post-pandemic with the assistance of government aid. In line with the unprecedented losses experienced in 2020, industry-wide revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 5.2% over the past five years and is expected to total $3.8 billion in 2024, when revenue will contract an estimated 2.2%.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 5.2 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $3.8bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to decline over the next five years.
