Rising Adoption of Hybrid Event Models
The significant shift towards hybrid event models, combining both in-person and virtual elements is majorly driving the India virtual events market growth. The trend is driven by the desire for more flexibility and accessibility, allowing organizers to reach a wider audience and guarantee the attendance of those joining in person. Hybrid events cater to different preferences, enabling attendees to join in person or virtually, depending on what works best for them. This trend accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it shows no signs of slowing as companies and organizations recognize the cost-saving aspect and scalability of hybrid models. With times changing, new features and tools such as AR, VR, and AI-powered networking tools are enhancing the hybrid experience, thereby making it interactive and engaging. A research report from the IMARC Group indicates that the market for extended reality in India is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.07% from 2025 to 2033. As a result, industries such as education, corporate training, and entertainment are increasingly adopting hybrid models, fueling the growth of the virtual events market in India.
Increasing Demand for Personalized and Interactive Experiences
The growing demand for personalized and interactive experiences is creating a positive India virtual events market outlook. At events, attendees are expecting personalization in content, networking, and engagement options. Data scientists, machine learning experts, and engineers of the Event Data Collection Services gather the information and then, based on that, provide recommendation services for the participants. Gamification, live polls, Q&As, and virtual breakout rooms are rapidly becoming common features offered to optimize audience engagement. And social networks, plus live chat capabilities are giving those who have logged in from outside the venue a feeling of community. This trend is most pronounced in industries such as marketing and education and even professional conferences, where audience engagement is a critical element. India is estimated to have over 900 million social media users by the year 2025, and the platforms with the highest number of users are WhatsApp (83%), Instagram (80.6%), and YouTube (476 million users). The average time spent by individuals in India on social media is 2 hours and 30 minutes a day, hence making it one of the most sought-after platforms for conducting virtual events. As more of the country comes online and social media usage matures, digital and virtual interactions are expected to grow massively across India. Consequently, the virtual events market in India is changing to focus on user-centered experiences, fostering innovation and expansion within the industry.
