Market Dynamics:

Drivers

However, with changing times, countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia and other developing nations outside of the previously mentioned regions have gained significance on a global stage given the contribution they make to the global GDP, workforce, consumer market, supply chain and overall economy. Therefore, governments of these countries are increasingly focusing on developing their MICE industry with the right attitude and funding to attract opportunities to elevate their citizens' lives.

Recently, many countries have retracted their names from hosting high and international-level sports events or political gatherings, given the economic burden they were causing to their already struggling economies. Citizens also protest against these events as they overshadow the domestic problems of poverty and hunger in many countries. Therefore, the capital-intensive nature of the MICE industry will limit the market's growth.

Opportunities:

They are also developing stadiums to host sports events with state-of-the-art facilities for athletes. The air connectivity and road infrastructure are being improved for seamless and hassle-free travel. All these factors will support the MICE industry’s growth during the forecast period.
