Additionally, the high costs associated with American Football, such as stadium rent and player salaries, also contribute to the minimal growth in the market.

Local special circumstances: In Central and Western Europe, the American Football market faces unique challenges due to the dominance of traditional sports like soccer and rugby. However, this is slowly changing as the popularity of American Football continues to grow, particularly among young audiences.

This has led to the creation of a robust infrastructure and regulatory environment, further accelerating the growth of the market. Additionally, the high demand for professional leagues like the NFL has also spurred the development of a thriving market for merchandise, fantasy sports, and betting.
Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The American Football Market within the Sports Market is strongly influenced by macroeconomic factors such as consumer spending, government subsidies, and advertising revenues. In countries with strong economies and high levels of disposable income, there is a higher demand for sports entertainment, leading to increased revenues for the American Football Market. Additionally, government support and subsidies for athletic programs and facilities can also contribute to the growth of the market. On the other hand, countries with weaker economies may see lower demand and lower market performance. Furthermore, advertising revenues also play a significant role in the American Football Market, as companies are willing to pay large sums of money to reach the sports-loving demographic. Therefore, strong economic conditions and higher consumer spending tend to drive the growth of the American Football Market.
