The industry is growing rapidly, not only as a new independent business and industry but according to market analysts Newzoo it is also accelerating the convergence of various established industries. According to Newzoo s 2017 esports market report, esports provides an opportunity for brands, media and entertainment companies to capitalise on the favourite pastime of digital natives and Millennials: playing games and watching game content (see below). noted that the competition between broadcasters for content rights is increasing, with a number of streaming platforms challenging Twitch s market leading position (a video platform and community for gamers) and several leading linear broadcasters, most notably, Turner Sports in the USA, now broadcasting esports content for the first time. Sports teams, clubs and leagues see esports as a new opportunity. For example, Newzoo notes that Paris Saint- Germain was a driving force behind the recently established e-league 1, the French FIFA competition.

The esports enthusiast is skewed towards the young and male, the majority in full-time employment and having a good income with them more likely to be consuming content online rather than through traditional media outlets. According to Newzoo, this makes them a desirable target group for different parties, especially big brands. Global revenue in 2017 is forecast to grow by 41.3% year-onyear by Newzoo to $696m. Brands are expected to spend nearly $517m, split into $266.3m on sponsorship, $155.3m on advertising and another $95.2m on media rights.
