Esports Market By Application, By Streaming type, By Device Type, By Revenue Stream : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033

Description

The global esports market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $9.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 21.2% from 2023 to 2033. Electronic sports, commonly known as eSports or eGames, involve organized competitive video gaming where teams compete in tournaments for cash prizes and other rewards. Similar to traditional sports, top-tier athletes vie for the top positions in their chosen games. Additionally, the growing number of mobile users has made it easier for players and viewers to engage with these games from virtually anywhere, eliminating the need to be tied to a desktop computer or a specific location to play or watch esports.

The esports industry has witnessed impressive growth in recent years, fueled by several key factors such as the increasing popularity of online gaming, greater accessibility through mobile devices, and the rise of streaming platforms. The growth of live streaming platforms including Twitch and YouTube Gaming has significantly broadened the reach of esports, making it accessible to a global audience. Mobile gaming is also emerging as a major force, especially in regions such as Asia-Pacific, driven by the increasing penetration of smartphones. Another notable trend is the professionalization of esports, with rising investments from traditional sports teams, media companies, and major brands. Furthermore, advancements in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are introducing immersive gaming experiences, enhancing both player engagement and spectator interaction.

Rise in the number of live streaming platforms such as Twitch and YouTube gaming has expanded audience reach, making esports more accessible to a global audience. Mobile gaming is also becoming a dominant force, particularly in regions such as Asia-Pacific, due to increased smartphone penetration. Another significant trend is the professionalization of esports, with growing investments from traditional sports teams, media companies, and brands. In addition, advancements in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are creating new immersive gaming experiences, enhancing player engagement and spectator interaction.

For instance, in September 2024, Ant Esports launched an inauguration of their new manufacturing facility in Okhla Phase II, New Delhi. The first product to roll out of this state-of-the-art facility is the Value Series Power Supply (VS650L), a notable achievement under the Government of India's "Make in India" initiative.

However, data privacy and security concerns and regulatory and legal challenges are expected to hamper the global market growth. Furthermore, growing sponsorship and investment strategies are expected to provide numerous opportunities for the growth of the esports market.
