Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Events Industry Market

The global lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused a modest slowdown in the events industry market growth in 2020. With the enormous number of people working from home and spending more time online, day and night, the pandemic has accelerated the shift to digital. The increasing demand for digital resources is stressing the systems of many software and platform organizations, inhibiting their ability to deliver services with quality and reliability. Since the outbreak's start, the popularity of virtual events has risen, which is led by the increasing demand for mobility solutions by a range of key stakeholders, including associations, professional meeting organizers, company executives, marketing managers, product management, and human resources, and more. However, the pandemic negatively impacted the events industry market growth due to the cancellation of various sporting events, exhibitions, prominent festivals, concerts, weddings, and others to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Virtual events have been around for a long time before the COVID-19, and they will continue the same way. However, the popularity of virtual events has increased during the pandemic. Many industries that were thriving before the pandemic, have faced significant revenue losses and contracted in terms of their market growth. Several companies across multiple industries have already declared bankruptcy or were forced to lay off significant portions of their staff.

Naturally, one of the worst affected by the pandemic was the events industry. Due to this lockdown situation, virtual event software providers face increasing demand worldwide. Therefore, although in 2020, the global events industry market plummeted initially due to the adverse impact of the pandemic and the related regulations, it remarkably recovered with the rise in the uptake of virtual and hybrid events globally.

Rapid Increase in Events Sponsorship

Over the last 50 years, the relevance and popularity of sports have given rise to a new business, the sports industry.

Businesses may benefit from sponsorship by increasing awareness regarding their products and services among consumers, using modern advertising, and differentiating their brands from others.
