Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

This club management software market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The club management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.32 billion in 2024 to $6.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to manual administrative processes, demand for improved member experience, shift from manual to digital systems, emergence of SaaS (software as a service) model, and demand for integrated solutions.
The club management software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing health and wellness industry, rising expectations for digital experiences, expansion of virtual and on-demand fitness services, expansion into emerging markets, and focus on sustainability and green initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of AI and data analytics integration, focus on member engagement and personalization, integration with wearable fitness technology, expansion into niche markets, and enhanced user experience and interface design.
The forecast of 12.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.8% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. fitness and recreational club software market could face pricing pressures as tariffs affect the integration of third-party POS systems and wearables from countries like China and Malaysia. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing demand for cloud-based solutions is poised to drive the expansion of the club management software market in the coming years. Cloud-based solutions encompass software applications, storage, services, or resources accessed via the internet through a shared cloud computing framework. Their rising popularity stems from attributes such as scalability, cost-effectiveness, accessibility, flexibility, security, and disaster recovery capabilities. Cloud-based club management software offers convenience, scalability, cost-effectiveness, security, and reliability, making it an optimal choice for fitness clubs and recreational centers seeking to streamline operations and enhance member experiences. For example, in December 2023, Eurostat reported that the adoption rate of cloud computing services among small and medium-sized enterprises increased to 59% in 2023, up from 53% in 2021. Thus, the escalating demand for cloud-based solutions propels the growth of the club management software market.
