The Table tennis market has the particularity of being asymmetrical, that is to say that certain parties ,lack information for the player, it is difficult to assess his own level and, as a rule generally, he does not know the salary of his partners when signing his contract. For a club, it is difficult to measure a player's talent, his personality and therefore his adaptability, his professionalism and even his state of health. This is where players' agents come in. The role of an agent is thus to reduce the uncertainty linked to this lack of information and to facilitate agreements.

Most of the time, it's the players who ask for an agent's help, and their role can be very diverse. He will thus represent the player during contract negotiations, but can also manage the player's assets, manage his image and thus put him in touch with brands wishing to partner with him. However, it is not uncommon for football clubs themselves to look to agents as intermediaries, especially in international transfers.
