The rise of 5G technology and other key tech trends will propel the world of eSports, expected to reach a whopping $4.47 billion by 2030, according to a study by Cognitive Market Research. 

The report, which analysed various trends and factors driving the growth of the global eSports market, highlighted the impact of 5G technology, and its predecessor, 4G, as key drivers for the industry’s expansion.

The arrival of 5G technology has been a game-changer for the eSports industry, authors of the Cognitive Market Research say, offering faster download and upload speeds, lower latency, and more stable connections. These advancements have paved the way for a new era of online gaming, enabling players to compete in real-time without any lag or delays.

This enables several people to entertain themselves as well as to earn money. In these apps or websites, users can play a wide range of games, including cricket, hockey, football, basketball, and kabaddi. This promotes market expansion.”
