/PRNewswire/ -- Allied Market Research recently published a report, titled, "Smart Stadium Market : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2018 -...
The global smart stadium market accounted for $4.1 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $22.1 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 23.1% during the forecast period, 2018-2025. The growth of the smart stadium market is driven by a surge in focus on fan engagement experiences at stadiums, increasing adoption of IoT technologies to efficiently manage stadium infrastructure, and the advent of green initiatives & security regulations by sport governing bodies. However, high initial investment & long wait for ROI along with security vulnerability of open Wi-Fi networks in stadiums restrict market growth. Nonetheless, the rise of sports league culture in emerging economies would provide lucrative opportunities to emerging market players in the near future.
The key players analyzed in the report include Cisco Systems, Inc., Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., IBM Corporation, Intel Corporation, NEC Corporation, Johnson Controls International plc, GP Smart Stadium, Ericsson, NXP Semiconductors N.V., and Schneider Electric SE. They have adopted different strategies including collaborations, joint ventures, partnerships, expansions, mergers & acquisitions, and others to gain a strong position in the industry.
Europe is expected to continue its global market dominance and generate one-third of the overall revenue by 2025, due to the presence of well-established sports infrastructure in countries such as the UK, Germany, and Russia. Additionally, Europe is also the hub for a large number of soccer events that drive the adoption of connected solutions among stadium operators.
