Global Virtual Events Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by rapid digitization and the growing preference towards the utilization of virtual infrastructures and services by numerous organizations. Additionally, there has been a considerable increase in the number of virtual events being held across the globe due to the mandatory lockdowns imposed by the governments of numerous countries to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This has also prompted numerous small and large-scale organizations to adopt Work-From-Home (WFH) policy, which has led to the rising need for video conferencing and communication platforms across the corporate segment to ensure seamless business and client meetings. Moreover, key players are now incorporating higher bandwidths with their platforms to ensure smooth workflow and offer innovative and sophisticated tools that assist in enhancing the overall virtual experience of corporate employees. Apart from this, they are also leveraging advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), to provide unparalleled efficacy and improved user experience, thereby providing an impetus to the market growth. Some of the other factors contributing to the market growth include the easy availability of high-speed internet connection, the advent of software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based virtual events and the increasing demand for audio and video conferencing from the education sector.
