LONDON, Jan. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to The Business Research Company’s research report on the sports market, rising penetration of mobile, tablet and other electronics and the emergence of affordable internet in developing countries are expected to drive the sports market in the forecast period. Increased sales of internet accessible electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets lead to an increase in online viewership of sports content. For example, Hotstar, a video streaming platform of Star India, is the official broadcaster of the Indian Premier League (IPL), has a majority of mobile device-based users, and registered growth of 74% in viewership during 2019 compared to 2018. The same trend is expected to further rise in future IPL seasons, driving the revenues of the sports market. Similarly in 2016, Discovery Communications (the owner of Eurosport) partnered with streaming specialist BAMTech to integrate premier content to deliver it to more users and their devices across Europe. BAMTech also has long-term deals with sports organizations such as the Olympic Games and the National Hockey League (NHL).
