Customer preferences: The rise of virtual events and online tournaments has opened up new opportunities for the Merchandise & Ticketing Market within the eSports Market. With the growing popularity of eSports, fans are now willing to spend more on exclusive merchandise and tickets for live events.

This allows fans to show their support for their favorite teams and players, while also generating additional revenue for both parties.

Local special circumstances: In Benelux, the Merchandise & Ticketing Market within the eSports Market is heavily influenced by the region's strong presence in the gaming industry and its supportive government policies. The Netherlands, for example, has a thriving gaming culture and a well-established eSports scene, leading to a high demand for merchandise and tickets. In Belgium, strict regulations on online gambling have resulted in a limited market for eSports betting, but the country's love for traditional sports has created a unique market for traditional sports merchandise.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the Merchandise & Ticketing Market within the eSports Market is heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors such as consumer spending power, economic stability, and government policies. Countries with strong economies and high levels of disposable income are experiencing a surge in demand for eSports merchandise and tickets. On the other hand, regions with economic uncertainty and low consumer confidence may see a slower growth rate in this market. Additionally, government policies that encourage the development of eSports and its related industries can also have a positive impact on the market's growth potential.
