What does GDSP stand for in sport industry analysis?

• A. Gross Domestic Sport Product
• B. Gross Domestic Sports Performance
• C. Global Domestic Sport Potential
• D. Geographic Distribution of Sport Programs

Answer: (A)

GDSP is a measure of the economic value generated by the sport sector within a country. It mirrors how GDP works, but isolates just sport-related production and services, giving a focused view of how much activity the sport industry contributes domestically in a given period. The “gross” indicates total output, “domestic” means located within the country’s borders, “sport” targets the sector, and “product” signals the value of goods and services produced.

This makes it the best fit because it describes a country-specific, sport-focused economic measure. The other options describe outcomes or scopes that don’t align with the concept of an industry-specific output metric, such as performance results, global scope, or geographic distribution of programs. GDSP helps analysts assess the sport sector’s size and growth, compare regions, and inform policy or investment decisions.
