eSports market size Japan 2018-2023

Published by Statista Research Department, Jul 17, 2020
According to an estimate from February 2020, the Japanese eSports market revenue was expected to grow from slightly over six billion Japanese yen in 2019 to more than 15 billion yen by 2023. The market size was projected to grow continuously at an average annual growth rate of about 26 percent. This growth was said to come about due to eSports getting more easily accessible for smartphone users.
eSports are video game competitions of mostly professional players competing in games of several genres, ranging from multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) to card games. These events are often broadcast to a larger audience via live streaming. Several news reports referred to 2018 as the year in which Japan embraced eSports, partly because the Japan Esports Union (JESU) was formed in February of that year.
