Global Virtual Event Platform Market

Dublin, March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Virtual Event Platform Market by Component (Platform and Services), Organization Size, End User (Corporations, Governments, Education, Healthcare, Third-party Planners, Associations, Non-Profit) and Region - Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global virtual event platform market size is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 19.8% during the forecast period, to reach USD 30.6 Billion in 2027 from USD 12.4 Billion in 2022.

Key factors that are expected to drive the growth of the market are a significant shift to remote working and social distancing norms during the pandemic, which drove millions of businesses to cancel their in-person physical events and shift to webinars and virtual events as an alternative to connect with distributed audiences, the sustainable impact of distributed and hybrid work and adoption of digital channels, webinars, and virtual events.

Recession Impact on the global virtual event platform market

According to research studies and surveys, even during a recession, global enterprises are not expected to halt or shut down their digital transformation efforts, though they may be more cautious in formulating, planning, implementing and spending their IT consulting budgets. During the earlier recession of 2008-2010, exhibition revenues were down nearly about 15%. That was largely driven by lower sponsorship, lesser subscriptions as well as a reduction of attendees. This financial year 2022-23, even with all the economic issues, virtual event platform vendors managed to scale up to 60-70% with their diversified offerings and effective services. Rising venue costs during the recession are a challenge for several organizations and enterprises worldwide. Companies are seeking contingency plans and considering alternative solutions during these inflation times.

Based on component, the virtual event platform market is segmented into two categories: platform and services. The services segment is necessary for easy deployment, integration, and proper functioning of the virtual event platform.
