Market Segmentation - Adults

Identifying ten consumer segments among the Australian adult population.

The Market Segmentation Study provides key insights regarding how participation in sport among the Australian adult population (aged 14-65) is affected by:

  • Sport delivery that focuses on competition rather than fun and enjoyment.
  • A lack of flexibility around the scheduling of sport in traditional sporting clubs.
  • Organising individuals and teams according to talent rather than retaining friendship groups.
  • Limited opportunities for people with limited sports competency to join sporting clubs.
  • Self-consciousness amongst adolescents and embarrassment because of their lack of sporting ability.

Adult Segments

Market segmentation identifies ten consumer segments among the Australian adult population:

  • Current club member segments - Loyalists, Socially Engaged, Sport Driven and Apathetic Clubbers
  • Non-club member segments - Sidelined Sportsters, Club Wary, Ponderers, Self-focused, Sport Indifferent and Sport Atheists
