LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global esports market is expected to post a CAGR close to 18% during the period 2019-2023, according to the latest market research report by Technavio. However, the market is expected to decelerate on a year-on-year basis.
Currently, several regional and international players are contributing to the growth of the market by launching new esports platforms. These new platforms are thus expected to accelerate the growth of the vendors operating in the global market by increasing their revenue flow and expanding their consumer base. Furthermore, new platforms help to increase the market share of the players and offer them a competitive edge over their rivals. For instance, in June 2019, Viacom announced the launch of NickX eSports platform, a tournament platform for kids using Nickelodeon gaming content.
Similarly, in May 2019, IKON, a new gaming challenge platform, was launched. This new platform supports the League of Legends and PUBG and allows players to challenge friends and fans. Therefore, the increasing launch of such platforms is expected to drive the market for eSports during the forecast period.
As per Technavio, the evolution of high-tech gaming consoles will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth significantly over the forecast period. This global esports market 2019-2023 research report also analyzes other important trends and market drivers that will affect market growth over 2019-2023.
