Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2021 and 2022, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2027

The scope of this report is broad and covers the global markets for e-sports, which is organized globally to generate various types of revenue streams, ranging from media rights to sponsorships to tickets and merchandise. In this report, the e-sports market is segmented based on revenue streams, streaming type and region.

E-sports has become a lucrative industry in recent years, generating millions of dollars in revenue. It has turned online gaming into a spectator sport. This popularity has allowed it to function like other professional sports leagues: operators pay players in exchange for their participation; operators are paid by distributors in exchange for the rights to broadcast the game and by the public in exchange for viewer access. Also, like other sports and industries, e-sports are popular with advertisers and merchandisers with games.

The e-sports trend has become so widespread in recent years that games can often be viewed at an organized arena event. Thus, e-sports have the potential to become an even more influential brand platform than traditional sports. During the broadcast, streamers are willing to wear, consume and promote the sponsor’s products.

E-sports fans can, however, achieve a level of intimacy with their favorite players and teams that traditional sports can’t match with live chat, contests and exclusive materials. As a fully digital sport, e-sports have attracted the attention of an increasing number of media companies, which have increased their coverage of e-sports tournaments.

For instance, Turner Broadcasting System, WME/IMG and ESPN have begun broadcasting e-sports and covering more e-sports tournaments. The increasing media coverage of e-sports tournaments is expected to increase viewership and thus propel the esports industry forward in the coming years.

The global gaming industry is rapidly changing with technological advancements, new business models and greater regulation. Over the past decade, the market for e-sports or competitive gaming (as it is also known) has also grown across the world. The e-sports audience size has increased yearly from 2019 to 2021. The most popular e-sports games include League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO), Mobile legends: Bang Bang, Dota 2, PUBG mobile, Overwatch and Hearthstone, among others.

Some of the major factors driving growth of e-sports market include steady rise in the number of gamers, increased innovation in game design, increased interest in e-sports, the advancement of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and future turning towards the Metaverse. Nevertheless, e-sports market growth is being hampered by legal frameworks and game addiction regulations.

In this report, the global e-sports market is segmented based on gaming genre into the following categories: player vs player (PvP), multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), real-time strategy (RTS), firstperson shooter (FPS) and fantasy sports. Games in the first-person shooter (FPS) segment such as Doom Eternal, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Valorant, Escape from Tarkov, CS: GO and others are the most popular as they test the reflexes, reaction speed and hand-eye coordination of players. The next most popular genre is multiplayer online battle arena, as they are effective in promoting having fun, being comfortable and enjoying time with friends and family while playing in a competitive game.
