The Rapid Growth of Esports
The esports industry in India is experiencing an unprecedented surge, driven by a burgeoning demand and significant potential for further expansion. The industry has seen a four-fold increase in esports players, from 150,000 in 2021 to 600,000 in 2022, with expectations to reach 1.5 million by 2027. 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.
