Covid-19 Impact
With COVID-19 affecting all businesses globally, the sports hospitality market experienced a significant fall in 2020. With no major tournaments held in 2020 and the majority of the world under shutdown, the sports hospitality market saw a big decline as there were not enough prospects for major corporations to hold a sporting event for a client without violating the lockdown rules. Furthermore, because businesses have been affected negatively by the pandemic, they seek to develop better relationships after the disease outbreak is over, and thus sports hospitality events are anticipated to be held much more frequently. As a result, the industry is poised to increase steadily post Covid-19.
Europe and, the Middle East & Africa are expected to hold the largest market size.
