The world of competitive multiplayer gaming has seen exceptional growth since the early 2000s. eSports is now an essential part of mainstream media, backed by celebrities including Michael Jordan, Steph Curry and Drake, it’s even been considered for the Olympics, and is currently covered internationally by ESPN, NBC and FoxSports.
Global eSports revenue has increased 28% p.a since 2015 (VanEck), and viewership is anticipated to grow at a compound rate of 9% p.a until 2023 (Business Insider Intelligence Esports Report). With both anticipated developments in gaming technology and continually improving internet capabilities, the eSports industry is set up to evolve and flourish with its audience’s ever increasing demand.
Exciting new eSports ETFs have been developed to allow traders to harness this tremendous growth opportunity. ETFs offer a simple and cost effective way to gain exposure to this industry. Much the same as trading Single Stock CFDs, Invast Global offers liquidity for a wide range of ETF CFDs which your clients can both trade on a margin and short sell.
