The gaming and esports industry continues to experience significant growth, driven by increasing popularity and technological advancements. Recent market movements indicate a strong upward trajectory, with global revenues projected to reach $6 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% between 2023 and 2030[5].
In 2024, the U.S. esports market is expected to generate revenues of approximately $1.07 billion, with a CAGR of 15.4% from 2024 to 2029, reaching a market size of $1.595 billion[1]. The Canadian esports market is also growing, with projected revenues of $138.9 million in 2024 and a CAGR of 5.92% from 2024 to 2029, reaching $185.2 million by 2029[1].
Key drivers of this growth include the esports betting segment, which is projected to generate a market size of $721.2 million in 2024 in the U.S., and the sponsorship and advertising segment, which is anticipated to achieve a substantial volume of $288.9 million in 2024 in China[1][3].
Emerging competitors and new product launches are also contributing to the industry's expansion. The integration of esports into traditional sports leagues, such as the NBA 2K League, is a notable trend, enhancing the industry's legitimacy and attracting new fans[2].
Regulatory changes and significant market disruptions are also shaping the industry. The first Olympic Esports Games, planned for 2025, will further boost the industry's recognition and legitimacy[5]. However, most esports companies are exercising caution with investments due to uncertain macroeconomic conditions and the need to become profitable.
Consumer behavior is shifting, with a growing fanbase and increased user engagement.

Industry leaders are responding to current challenges by exploring new revenue streams, such as physical merchandise, loyalty programs, and exclusive content[5]. Esports companies are also listing on stock exchanges to develop revenue streams beyond sponsorship.
In comparison to the previous reporting period, the industry has continued to grow, driven by increasing popularity and technological advancements. The global esports market size was valued at $1.72 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from $2.06 billion in 2024 to $9.29 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 20.7% during the forecast period[3].
