Esports: discover why they are essential in your offer

Esports, abbreviated for electronic sports, encompasses organized, competitive gaming events where individuals or teams compete against each other in multiplayer video games, typically in front of live audiences or via online streaming. The realm of esports spans various genres, from sports simulations like EAFC24 and NBA 2K to strategy games such as League of Legends and Dota 2, as well as first-person shooters like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Call of Duty, and even fighting games like Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros.

The popularity of esports has surged over time, drawing professional players and teams who compete for substantial prize pools in global tournaments. These events garner millions of online and offline spectators and have established professional leagues, sponsorships, and endorsements akin to traditional sports.

Esports is among the world's fastest-developing technology and entertainment industries, and it has grown at an unprecedented rate recently.

The global esports market reached $1.6 billion in 2023, significantly improving from $776 million in 2018. According to Vantage Market Research, the global esports market is estimated to be valued at USD 11.94 billion by 2030, with an exponential growth of 27.6% in the next seven years.

Factors contributing to the expansion of the Esports market include the rise of live game streaming, substantial investments, broader audience outreach, engagement initiatives, and enhanced infrastructure for league tournaments.

Organizations host Esports tournaments, drawing professional teams and amateur players alike. In doing so, companies showcase their brands, foster brand loyalty, and generate revenue via ticket sales, merchandise, and sponsorship opportunities.
