The event management platform market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the market for event management platforms has seen swift expansion in recent years. It is projected to escalate from $40.34 billion in 2024 to $45.23 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%.
The historic growth is driven by the increasing tendency towards event sponsorship and monetization, the shift towards digitalization, and integration with CRM and marketing platforms.
The event management platform market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, we expect a quick expansion of the event management platform market. It is projected to reach $71.83 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%.
This growth over the forecast period is driven by the rising focus on analytics, the need for automation and efficiency, and the surge of hybrid and virtual events. Future trends to watch for include hybrid event solutions, AI and automation, the incorporation of virtual event platforms, the use of blockchain for enhanced security and transparency, and immersive technologies.
The rapid uptick in the use of virtual events is anticipated to spur the expansion of the event management platform market in the future. A virtual event denotes an entirely online gathering or conference, eliminating the need for in-person participation. These events utilise digital tools to craft engaging and dynamic experiences for participants, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors. Event management platforms are indispensable for the coordination of successful virtual events, offering wide-ranging features, customization alternatives, and support services that ease the organising process, boost attendee engagement and provide invaluable insights to event planners. For example, a 2022 survey by Kaltura, an American software firm, sampled over 1250 organisers and attendees, revealed that 92% of organisers transitioned to virtual events for 2021, 94% are gearing up for virtual events for 2022, and 48% plan to escalate the count of virtual events they will host in the coming year. Consequently, the quickened acceptance of virtual events is facilitating the growth of the event management platform market.
