Strategic Intelligence: Esports



Summary

Esports are organized multiplayer video game competitions, typically involving professional players. The esports industry was worth nearly $2 billion in 2023 and will become a $6 billion industry by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% between 2023 and 2030, according to GlobalData forecasts.

Key Highlights
  • Esports monetization models are evolving. Esports teams and players are exploring physical merchandise, loyalty programs, and exclusive content to create secondary revenue streams. Esports companies are listing on stock exchanges to develop revenue streams beyond sponsorship. Similarly, reselling broadcasting rights and co-streaming are emerging trends, reflecting esports’ growing maturity.
  • The global esports industry attracts more events, gamers, and audiences every year. In addition, the first Olympic Esports Games, planned for 2025, will further boost its recognition and legitimacy. However, most esports companies are exercising caution with investments due to uncertain macroeconomic conditions and the need to become profitable.
  • Esports is adopting technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze user behavior, create new revenue streams, and take on more users. While companies focus on revenue and user growth, their huge volumes of user data will invite scrutiny from data privacy regulators.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
