Prime Determinants of Growth

The event industry is experiencing swift digital transformation, fueled by technological advancements that are redefining how events are conceptualized, managed, and attended. Cutting-edge tools such as virtual platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics are increasingly integral to event operations—streamlining planning processes, enhancing attendee engagement, and enabling real-time performance analysis. The rise of live streaming and virtual events, particularly after the pandemic, has broadened access and extended event reach to global audiences. Moreover, immersive technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are revolutionizing engagement by creating interactive, personalized experiences. These innovations have evolved beyond emerging trends to become essential growth drivers for the event market. Additionally, economic expansion and growing urbanization across regions like Asia-Pacific and Africa are opening new frontiers for industry. Nations such as China, India, and the UAE are witnessing a surge in both corporate and entertainment events, supported by rising disposable incomes and the rapid growth of business sectors.

By type, the corporate events and seminar segment held the major share of the market share in 2023, accounting for more than one-fourth of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Corporate events and seminars are organized to create a learning-by-doing atmosphere through experiments, discussions, and interactions among participants. They comprise various types of gatherings, such as conventions, symposia, congresses, incentive group events, marketing events, special celebrations, seminars, courses, public or trade shows, product launches, exhibitions, company general meetings, corporate retreats, study tours, or training programs.

By revenue source, the sponsorship segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global event industry market, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Sponsorship plays a crucial role in effective marketing due to its ability to enhance event programs and offset increasing expenses. It serves as a potent complement to other marketing initiatives, as it effectively delivers messages to the target audience and helps to build brand awareness. Thus, by sponsoring events, businesses can expand their reach to potential buyers and customers, ultimately driving sales.

By organizer, the entertainment segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than one-fourth of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. The entertainment industry comprises club festivals that feature music conferences and international music professionals. These conferences bring together performing artists and speakers from around the globe to network and share ideas. The lineup of speakers includes entrepreneurs, artists, producers, and industry leaders. These events primarily aim to innovate, educate, and inspire professionals in the electronic music field and foster discussions on new technologies and social & environmental responsibility.

21 to 40 Years segment to retain its dominance by 2035

By age group, the 21 to 40 Years segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. The significant growth of this market, especially among individuals aged between 21 and 40 years, can be attributed to their enthusiastic engagement in diverse events, including exhibitions, conferences, seminars, and music concerts. This age group actively participates in various gatherings and shows, contributing to the overall market expansion. In addition, there is a rising interest in entrepreneur and business-focused seminars and conferences, where young individuals who seek to establish their own ventures can gain valuable guidance and insights.

By origin of attendees, the national segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than three-fifths of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Local events tend to draw attendees from within the host country due to the ease of travel, reduced costs, and the relevance of the event to domestic industries or communities. Public initiatives and regional gatherings focused on national topics generally draw an audience from within the country.

Tier 1 cities segment to retain its dominance by 2035

By event location, the tier 1 cities segment held the major share of the market in 2023, accounting for more than half of the global event industry market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Tier 1 cities are driven by their world-class infrastructure, international airport hubs, and established reputation as business and cultural centers. These cities typically have a high concentration of multinational corporations, major conference venues, five-star hotels, and advanced transportation systems, making them prime locations for international and large-scale events. Global connectivity through direct flights, along with a well-developed tourism industry, ensures high attendance.

Europe to maintain its dominance by 2035

By region, Europe held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023, accounting for nearly one-third of the global event industry market. Germany and Spain are expected to experience the highest increase in activity, with various types of meetings witnessing growth in both numbers and attendees. Companies in the region have become more prudent with their spending, which thus leads to a demand for events within closer proximity and at mid-scale venues such as conferences, seminars, and festivals. Europe has been successful in attracting international association conferences, with over half of the top destinations for such conferences located in the region. The events industry in Europe experiences further growth due to increase in the adoption of smart devices and internet usage, which resulted in a gradual rise in online bookings for music concerts, sports events, and other gatherings.
