The market is anticipated to grow from $40 million in 2022 to $140 million by 2027, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32%.
Globally, the esports market is valued around $4.3 billion, with India's contribution currently at a modest 2.5%. This indicates a substantial growth potential for India's esports market.
