Although the Indian eSports market stands way behind the US and China, regardless of the presence of virtual games for over a decade, we hope that it will hit the 11-billion mark by 2025. After all, a majority of Indian users discovered their appeal only during the pandemic. They are now ready to spend on eSports as much as they would on movie tickets or live soccer/cricket matches. As a result, players are increasingly taking eSports more seriously and professionally.
The increasing viewership of eSports is also grabbing major consumer brands’ attention and investment interest. Brands like Intel, HP, and Philips have already joined the bandwagon by sponsoring tournaments and professional teams.
The consumer mindset has shifted from casual games to competitive video gaming, as well as multiplayer gaming. The changing preference and extensive popularity of games like FreeFire, Dota-2, or Valorant, have found space in everyone’s smartphones and gaming consoles. Today gaming and esports are much more than just forms of entertainment and hobby. It is a highly competitive industry and has opened various career options for all. Tournament awards and increasing cash prizes, increasing global and national esports competitions, and brand sponsorships, there is a lot to explore.
