Esports Market Overview

The Esports market size by revenue will be valued at $1.64 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7% over the forecast period. The adoption of Esports will be supported by increasing adoption of mobile and PC gaming, high accessibility and inclusiveness, and the development of the mobile 5G connectivity. Esports is moving from local area network (LAN)-based wired connectivity to 5G-powered wireless connections. Over the next two years, organizers will explore the potential for cross-platform esports competitions using 5G’s low latency and high bandwidth capabilities.

Although the market is gaining traction, it faces serious challenges from unauthorized betting/gambling and match-fixing. Companies offer several types of betting including skin betting, real money betting, social betting, fantasy betting, and challenge betting. Players earn skins in different games through gameplay, but they can also use real money to buy them. Skins can also be traded and sold, which creates a market in which rare skins are more in demand. This has given rise to several websites where players can gamble with their skins to win more valuable ones. These skins can then be sold for a much higher price using real money, leading to losses for game publishers.

The sector has been able to grow rapidly due to the increasing adoption of PC and mobile gaming among the young population. The proliferation of smartphones has led to a rise in mobile gaming. Free-to-play games such as Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), Clash Royale, Vainglory, Arena of Valor, Free Fire, and Mobile Legends are pioneering the mobile esports revolution. Esports has also made its way into academics. As per a report by ESPN, there are more than 125 colleges that offer esports programs. Caldwell University in New Jersey, Keuka College in New York, George Mason University in Virginia are some of the colleges that offer esports degree courses.

According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, published in November 2020, 22 of the 106 telcos that have launched commercial 5G offerings have announced cloud gaming services. In January 2020, BT partnered with Google Stadia to become its first European 5G provider. Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, SK Telecom, China Mobile, KT, and Vodafone have also inked deals with cloud gaming providers. Chipmakers like Samsung, Huawei, Qualcomm, and MediaTek are also investing in 5G to bring console-quality gaming to smartphones. Mobile esports is growing particularly quickly in Southeast Asia and Latin America, driven by the rise of smartphone gaming culture in these regions.

The lack of standardization and regulation of esports competitions is one of the major challenges faced by the industry. In conventional sports a centralized and global entity can easily implement standardization and regulation for a particular sport. In esports ecosystem, the publisher of a game owns the game, while the organizer of the esports tournament or event can also manage the regulations of the game. Industry consortiums such as the International Esports Federation (IESF) and the World Esports Association (WESA) are trying to bring uniformity to esports leagues, but have so far made little progress, and governance remains in a state of flux. Adding to the confusion, several countries (including South Korea, Japan, and India) have also created regulatory bodies to govern their domestic esports industries. The creation of an independent body would be particularly promising in this regard.

Esports Market Segmentation by Revenue Stream

Esports market by revenue stream includes sponsorship, media rights, digital, tickets & merchandise, publisher fees, and streaming. Sponsorship from non-tech brands is helping esports teams open up new revenue channels (e.g., Cloud9 offers team-branded apparel in partnership with Puma), while the involvement of globally recognized brands like Coca- Cola (the official non-alcoholic beverage of Overwatch League) is legitimizing esports content in the eyes of a wider audience.

Digital, which includes the sale of in-game items associated with team IP or signed player likenesses, will be the fastest-growing revenue stream by 2030. Tencent, in partnership with Chushou, is already developing advertising campaigns to enhance fan engagement in China, which most likely will follow an in-game monetization model. Other companies are likely to follow Tencent’s lead and develop mobile esports-focused in-game revenue models.

In such cases, GlobalData may choose to provide high-level insights and general trends rather than forcing segmentation that may not be backed by sufficient data. This approach ensures that the report’s overall quality and credibility are maintained.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

 Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

 Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

 Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

 Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

 Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

 Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
