DUBLIN, April 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Esports Market - Global Outlook and Forecast 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This study considers the present scenario of the esports market and its market dynamics for the period 2019-2025. It covers a detailed overview of several market growth enablers, restraints, and trends. The study offers both the demand and supply aspects of the market. It profiles and examines leading companies and other prominent companies operating in the market.

Electronic sports is an emerging vertical of the gaming space; however, it should not be combined with virtual sports or fantasy sports. It is defined as multiplayer video gaming, played by professional gamers at a competitive level. Technological innovations in the gaming industry is a key growth driver. Advances such as facial recognition, sound recognition, gesture control, graphics, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) have completely changed video games and have encouraged gamers to play such games.

As technology advances, the thrill of playing games has also increased with a more visual stimulus, creativity, and satisfaction. AR and VR have revolutionized the esports industry. AR provides the audience with a mesmerizing stadium experience of leagues and competitions. With the use of these technologies, participants can enjoy the enhanced experience as they are physically active and involved in the game. VR is expected to be undoubtedly a strong drive for competitive experiences as the technology and software continue to upgrade. Currently, there are a few active competitive leagues that use VR. Therefore, developers are now focusing on AR/VR technology to differentiate games in the market.

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the e-sports market during the forecast period:

  • Technological Innovations in the Gaming Industry
  • Increase in Internet Penetration
  • Role of Association and Government Involvement
  • Increased Awareness of Esports

e-Sports Market: Segmentation

This research report includes a detailed segmentation by revenue, games, e-platform, and geography.

The esports market has shown tremendous growth in terms of revenue and viewership in the last few years. In 2019, out of the total esports revenue of $1.1 billion, sponsorships contributed $667 million in revenue, which was the highest. With player wages rising, the introduction of new sponsors and sponsorship sectors is critical for the future commercial success of electronic sports. Although it's still in its infancy stage and has an irregular events season structure, sponsorship provides a platform for brands to create their events and become rights holders.

The revenue from the media right segment is expected to double by 2024. The segment is likely to become the largest source of esports revenue as massive audiences, and associated advertisement revenue from established online video platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, Douyu, and Huya will support the growth of media rights fees paid to top publishers.

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games have become incredibly popular among video gamers in recent years. MOBAs are witnessing continuous growth in emerging markets, especially in Latin America. Latin America is in the perfect position for a major upswing when it comes to esports. The region has 45 million viewers, with profits soaring close to $12 million in 2019. Mexico was the second country that generated more audiences in the region after Brazil. While the MOBA segment in Latin America is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 20% during the forecast period, the PC and console segments are projected to observe grow rates of over 20% each for the same period.

First person shooter (FPS) games are one of the most popular genres. They have been around for decades. These games offer intense action and are simple to understand and pick up compared to RTS and MOBA games. They have been at the forefront of professional gaming, and they continue to play a big role in the esports industry. The popularity of watching videogame played on YouTube, and Twitch has shown that most videogames are appealing for audience experience.

Personal computers are currently the leading platform in esports. PC gaming is fast becoming a favorite choice among gaming enthusiasts, and this shift can be attributed to factors such as the young population, quality of gameplay, affordability, availability of top-end hardware and software, and improved internet bandwidth. With more than 60% of the people below 35 years of age, India has the largest potential market for the gaming segment. The increasing popularity and the acceptance of competitive gaming have attracted hardcore PC users, with many wanting to build their systems.
