全球体育市场展望预测(2021-2026年)
Over the last 15 years, the gaming industry has completely evolved from the
traditional consoles to a technologically developed graphical mobile entertainment
featuring live video streaming assisted by cloud-based infrastructure. The
introduction of new gaming methods, especially online gaming platforms, has
attracted a large customer base. The gaming industry is hence seen to be a larger
market than the music and film industries combined. The COVID-19 lockdown has
benefited the gaming industry, resulting in rapid growth in recent months. Owing to
the rise in data consumption and usage of smartphones among consumers has
resulted in huge growth opportunities in various regions across the world, driving
new methods of playing, engaging, and paying. Easy online wallet payment has
enabled gamers to play various types of games on a global platform and compete
with other online players from different nations. Majorly, online gaming is divided
into three segments: real money games, mobile-centric or casual gaming, and esports.
Fantasy sports are included under real money games, where the game is
played on online platforms and has real stakes based on the outcome of the game.
