The “Global Esports Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Revenue Source (Sponsorship, Advertising, Merchandise & Tickets, Media Rights), by Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2022-2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets’ offering.

The global esports market size is expected to reach USD 12,494.3 million by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.9% from 2022 to 2030. The increasing mobile usage in emerging countries, rising awareness regarding esports, and increasing popularity of video games are expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

Consumers demand high-quality and interactive gaming content aligned with the dynamic entertainment industry. The alignment of entertainment and gaming will influence the growth of the entire sports industry, including online streamers and small and big-budget game developers. The increasing investments from commercial partners and substantial audience growth have resulted in revenue growth in the esports market. The industry has become more structured, with associations and league formats developing new competitive structures. Moreover, the growing partnerships, acquisitions, and mergers have projected strong growth in the esports market.

The streaming platforms, such as Twitch, have attracted viewers by streaming esports and gaming. The esports tournaments have fascinated athletes and celebrities and have drawn a broad audience’s attention. Additionally, esports and gaming make it easy to draw the attention of enthusiastic and young viewers who are hard to reach through traditional media channels. The ability to grab the attention of the young and enthusiastic audience has attracted many brands to invest in esports events in sponsorships and advertising. The interest of investors has increased with the centralization of an Esports team, rising audience, and the introduction of a more franchise-style league. The rising interest of brands in esports teams to reach potential customers is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

In addition to sponsorship, ticket sales and merchandise are essential revenue segments that drive the esports market’s growth. The franchisee is focusing on hosting local events that include fans in stadiums, generating significant revenue, thus contributing to the further development of the esports market. The Esports apparel market has witnessed substantial growth due to a growing fanbase, league-level merchandise deals, and increased retail presence.

The esports teams no longer have to rely on winning competitions as teams can independently sell their merchandise to their fans. For instance, Ralph Lauren partnered as the apparel partner for G2 Esports. One of G2 Esports’ famous players, Martin’ Rekkles’ Larsson, was featured in Ralph Lauren’s Wimbledon Campaign. G2 and Ralph Lauren partnered across several campaigns and events and produced a range of digital-first activations on Twitch and TikTok.

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), founded in 1984, is the national federation for Board games, Card games, Esports, and Wargames.

MSSA promotes all  the different disciplines equally, although each school may pick-and-choose which discipline it wishes to promote at its school. Some schools will promote the whole gambit, while others will concentrate on only one discipline, and/or even just concentrate on one specific title.

The choice is ultimately up to the school.

The various games offer unique opportunities to many South African learners. Many learners have been able to earn Regional, Provincial, and National Colours which have allowed them to earn bursaries and obtain first-class educations.

MSSA has sent teams with full Protea Colours to international events since 1991 for wargames, 1996 for Morabaraba, 1997 for Checkers, and 2005 for Esports. Many members of the national teams have been scholars, and all have benefited from their involvement in the national Protea Team. 
With the above in mind the MSSA has streamlined the process for schools to affiliate to the MSSA.
 

There is still the option open for a school to start a full-blown sub-club on its premises, but bearing in mind the tight regulatory conditions under which accredited schools have to operate in the Republic, the MSSA no longer deems it necessary for a school to start a sub-club.

As long as the school club has the approval of the school, and has an Educator-in-Charge, a school may affiliate by merely completing the Application for Affiliation Form and submitting such to MSSA.

In order to affiliate, the completed Application for affiliation Form must be submitted to the MSSA.
 
Once the Board has approved a school’s affiliation, the school then needs to complete the Google Registration Page allocated to the school for the players and make payment.
 
All school members may participate in all events for which it qualifies. Such events include meetings, championships, courses, and so forth. 

Advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club: 
There are many advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club, such as:

  1. Being part of a community where your club has a real say in how things are done
  2. Being able to apply for National Lottery Funding – MSSA member clubs can apply for up to R800,000.00 in funding
  3. Being able to get assistance from your local government
  4. Experience increased media exposure of your events and your gamers
  5. Become part of the international community through the MSSA Registered players are able to become internationally recognised umpires, etc.
  6. Enable your gamers to take part in MSSA events, which may qualify them for Regional, Provincial, and National colours, overseas trips, and even sports bursaries at university.
MSSA’s Constitution
The Constitution forms the foundation of the MSSA. It guarantees members rights and governs the way that the MSSA operates. It can only be amended by a two-thirds majority at a Council Meeting. Please remember that Associations only have two (2) votes each, whereas member clubs have a representational vote, being:
  • Private clubsone vote per every five registered players, and
  • School clubs: one vote per every ten registered players.

MSSA’s General Regulations   
The General Regulations comprises of decisions made by both Council and Executive Committee Meetings. The General Regulations deals with how sub-committees operate as well as to how teams are selected and development funding is distributed.   Please refer to Schedule 10.12 in regard to the rights of clubs in hosting events.

MSSA’s Discipline Specific Regulations

Application for Affiliation form   
When a club applies for membership, the applicant club must complete such form and return the same to the MSSA.
