These pie charts compare the mean amount of money spent by per customer on four distinct categories of sports gear at a Canadian retail outlet between 2000 and 2020.
Overall, it is clear that football equipment consistently accounted for the largest share of customer spending in both years. Additionally, while expenditure on football and swimming saw an upward trend over the period, spending on tennis and rugby equipment experienced a decline.
In 2000, football equipment was the most popular expense, with customers spending an average of $60. By 2020, this figure rose slightly to $70, maintaining its position as the dominant category. Similarly, average spending on swimming equipment doubled over the two decades, growing from $10 in 2000 to $20 in 2020.
Conversely, expenditure on the remaining two sports dropped. Average customer spending on rugby equipment fell by $10, decreasing from $40 in 2000 to $30 in 2020. The most dramatic shift occurred in the tennis category, where average spending plummeted from $30 in 2000 to just $10 in 2020, making it the least funded sport by the end of the period.
