Esports is a fast-growing market within the world of gaming, mainly driven by the ongoing digitalization, increasing smartphone usage, and rising awareness of gaming. Faster and better technology opens up new possibilities, with the COVID-19 pandemic fueling the demand for eSports. The market will constantly grow due to the creation of more teams, tournaments, companies, and hence a wide-reaching platform for sponsorship and advertisement. Not only does the prize money from tournaments rise but also the amount invested into different teams, owing to the increase in live stream viewers and profitability. With China remaining the biggest market and the U.S. and Germany following behind, the eSports market is expected to witness strong double-digit growth. Recent consolidation in the gaming industry and the entry of FaZe Clan into the stock market have drawn further attention to the market.
