Growing popularity of virtual events such as video conferencing and web conferencing augmenting the growth of the virtual events market
Shifting
the preferences of companies to reduce travel expenses is driving the growth of
the virtual events market. Virtual events support companies to cater to clients
across various countries where the organization does not have a physical
presence. Key players are introducing various corporate events to launch new
products, customer summits, and product promotions which are again fostering
the growth of the market. For instance, in October 2019, OnePlus, a mobile
manufacturer in India, launched its new product OnePlus7T in a live event that
was telecasted live across the globe via several online platforms. Moreover,
the growing adoption of online platforms for such events is further anticipated
to propel the growth of the virtual
events market. Rapid penetration of virtual events in the education
field such as online learning platforms and applications are projected to bring
new market opportunities.
North
America is expected to hold the dominant position in the global market and this
is accredited to the growing popularity of virtual events such as video
conferencing and web conferencing among others. This region has the highest
number of companies that have global headquarters in the U.S. and Canada. For
instance, a company such as Google has its presence globally uses virtual
communication services not only to communicate with its regional offices but
also to communicate with global customers.

A
virtual event is basically an internet-based event that involves participants
interacting over the internet, rather than physically meeting each other in an
offline venue. Virtual events are often multi-Session online events, which tend
to feature webcasts and webinars. Participants can easily communicate with each
other using personal computers and text chat/ emoticons. These events generally
take place within the group's own virtual space, with all of the group members
sharing the same room.
