The eSports market in Japan was valued at around 8.7 billion Japanese yen in 2020. It was expected to grow at an average annual growth rate of about 29 percent and reach a size of more than 18.4 billion yen by 2024. This growth was said to come about due to several factors, such as the establishment of the eSports league brand X-Moment by NTT Docomo in January 2021 and an increase in mobile gaming eSports.
