This is the first time that VIRESA, in coordination with the Appota E-sports creative platform developer and provider, has released the annual publication with the aim to provide key information on e-sports for individuals, organisations, and businesses in the field, thus fostering its development in Vietnam.
According to VIRESA, the 2021 Vietnam e-sports white book provides updates on the operations of Vietnam’s e-sports industry and analysis, as well as touches on e-sports growth amid digital transformation, the e-sports economy, and 5G and the future of the sport, among others.
Prior to the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, the global e-sports market recorded an annual growth of 10-15%. In 2019 specifically, it surpassed revenue of US$1 billion.
In Vietnam, 2020 marked a milestone for e-sports as the number of players surged to nearly 18 million.
The sport is also listed among the official events of the upcoming 31st Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
