Market Growth Factors

The MICES sector has undergone digital transformation at a much faster pace due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is now utilizing technologies like AI-based analytics, mobile applications, contactless check-ins, and virtual event platforms. These technologies not only aid in managing the whole process and making the events more interactive, but also coming up with the hybrid format that is already mixing up participation of both the virtual and the physical thus widening the audience and providing more flexibility. Apart from that, augmented and virtual reality by making this whole thing more realistic, thus, the event becomes not only more attractive but also yields greater return on investment.

The globalization process of companies has led to the need for a larger number of international meetings, conferences, and exhibitions. The companies in Europe and the Americas, while still focusing on Europe as a primary target for growth (84%) and North America (74%), have not completely disregarded Asia Pacific (55%) which is still considered as another main area along with South America, Middle East, and Africa. All this suggests that the collaboration through borders is needed and thus MICE platforms that facilitate such interactions and knowledge sharing become more demanded.

Another big reason for economic growth in host cities is that their exhibitions, more or less, guarantee the economic growth of the region. The exhibition industry is responsible for global economic contribution of USD 325 billion with an approx. number of 32,000 exhibitions taking place every year worldwide. Local economies are the direct beneficiaries of increased spending in hotels, transport, and leisure activities. For instance, the MICE sector of India contributed Rs. 3 lac crores to the economy of the country and had the support of 25 dedicated exhibition venues with a total indoor capacity of 437,000 sqm. Infrastructure and event venues investments increase the attractiveness of the destination and the reputation of the region as a business hub.
