Sponsorship is given to provide material support to an event or an organization. In addition, sponsorship enables the leading players to advertise their products and reach a wide range of consumer base, thereby, fueling the adoption of their products.

Improvement in economic condition and upsurge in disposable income are significant factors that propel the growth of the events industry. After the 2009 economic crisis in Europe and China, the global economy witnessed a standstill.
Furthermore, there has been a substantial surge in disposable income among individuals in North America and the Asia region. This rise in disposable income serves as a prominent catalyst for the industry, as urban consumers with medium to high incomes are transitioning their preferences from essential products and services toward entertainment and enhanced experiential offerings. This trend boosts the growth of the events industry, thus enhancing their service offering across various segments at a global level.
Advancements such as online booking, phone calls, emails, and video conferences have made communication and transactions significantly cost-effective and easy in real time. Apart from the change in approach and purpose in event management; technology has been a key turning point in the evolutionary process of event management. In addition, digital evolution has introduced various creative ways to reach a wide customer base for events. Smartphones, desktop apps, and mobile apps have made events efficient and manageable. It has helped people get all tasks organized, managed, and executed without losing much time and effort. Furthermore, events can now be conducted online through webinars and video conferences, which is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for market expansion during the forecast period.
Traditional events are no longer sufficient; instead, event organizers seek innovative ways to create memorable and personalized experiences that leave a lasting impression. This demand for uniqueness and immersion has led to the rise of experiential events, where attendees actively participate and engage with the event elements, rather than being passive observers. Experiential events employ various strategies such as interactive technology, sensory elements, gamification, and immersive environments to create an engaging and participatory atmosphere. For example, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies are being integrated into events to provide attendees with immersive and interactive experiences. These technologies allow participants to explore virtual worlds, interact with digital elements, and have unique & personalized interactions, enhancing their overall event experience.
Virtual and hybrid events contribute to sustainability efforts by reducing carbon emissions associated with travel and the physical infrastructure required for in-person events. By embracing virtual and hybrid formats, event organizers can align with the surge in demand for eco-friendly practices and position themselves as environmentally responsible. This opportunity allows the event industry to make a positive impact on the environment and appeal to attendees who prioritize sustainability.
The event industry is fragmented, owing to the presence of several small to medium-sized players as well as large enterprises. Thus, new players entering the market find it challenging to sustain the competitive environment. High infrastructure costs and fierce competition in the European market act as a strong entry barrier for new entrants. Furthermore, the high cost of resource management along with economic slowdown in top European countries is anticipated to reduce the overall investment opportunity. These factors collectively hamper market growth during the forecast period.
