State and local government budgets drive demand for playground and park equipment since recreation budgets typically fund these projects. Nonetheless, government budgets took a hit from COVID-19. During the pandemic, budgets shifted to focus on providing aid for hospitals and essential workers, reducing expenditure on recreation. Nonetheless, nonprofits funding playground equipment construction has fueled some growth for manufacturers. During this time, private spending on home improvements, which includes the installation of playground equipment, rose as children couldn't use public playgrounds to prevent the spread of the virus, supporting demand for manufacturers in 2021 and helping offset pandemic-related losses. These trends led to revenue falling at an estimated CAGR of 1.0% to $984.2 million through 2024, including a 6.6% dip that year alone.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 1.0 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $984.2m in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
