Fantasy Sports Business Analysis Report 2024-2030: Technological Advancements in AR and VR, & Rising Demand for Interactive and Engaging Fan Experiences Spurs Growth
The “Fantasy Sports – Global Strategic Business Report” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets offering.
The global market for Fantasy Sports was estimated at US$24.2 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$61.2 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.2% from 2023 to 2030. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of market trends, drivers, and forecasts, helping you make informed business decisions.
The growth in the global fantasy sports market is driven by several key factors, including the rising number of sports enthusiasts, increasing smartphone penetration, and the emergence of new sports formats. One of the primary growth drivers is the expanding global sports fan base, with sports leagues like the NFL, NBA, and IPL attracting millions of followers across multiple regions.
Fantasy sports platforms capitalize on this fervor by allowing fans to engage with their favorite leagues in a more interactive manner. The ability to draft real-world players, make roster changes, and track player performances in real-time creates a sense of ownership and control that traditional sports viewership does not offer. This enhanced engagement is converting casual viewers into active participants, thereby expanding the fantasy sports market. Additionally, the increasing number of sports broadcasts and live streaming options is making it easier for fans to stay updated with player performances and match outcomes, further fueling the popularity of fantasy sports.
Another critical growth driver is the rising penetration of smartphones and mobile internet, which has made fantasy sports more accessible to a wider audience. Mobile apps have become the primary medium for fantasy sports participation, offering a seamless experience with real-time notifications, easy team management, and social features. The rise of daily and weekly fantasy sports formats has also contributed to market expansion, as these formats provide a faster and more flexible gaming experience compared to traditional season-long leagues.
Moreover, the growing popularity of new sports such as esports and mixed martial arts (MMA) is providing additional avenues for fantasy sports platforms to diversify their offerings and attract new user segments. Fantasy esports, in particular, is gaining momentum as it taps into the burgeoning gaming community, which shares a similar demographic with fantasy sports users. As technological advancements continue to enhance user experience and as the regulatory environment becomes more favorable, the global fantasy sports market is expected to witness sustained growth, driven by increased user engagement, diversified offerings, and broader market reach.

In Egypt and Tanzania, SPAYZ.io has introduced Mobile Money solutions, supporting the growing demand for mobile-first financial services. Finally, in South Africa, the company has rolled out EFT bank transfer capabilities, providing a reliable and widely adopted payment method for local and international merchants.
Looking to Q4 2025, SPAYZ.io will be launching services in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore. In the UAE, merchants will soon be able to utilize bank transfer options for both pay-in and payout transactions, supporting the region’s dynamic and digitally driven economy. In Singapore, SPAYZ.io will offer PayNow for pay-ins and bank transfers for payouts, aligning with the country’s advanced financial infrastructure and consumer preferences for fast, secure digital payments.
SPAYZ.io will be exhibiting at SIGMA Rome to discuss its current and future payment solutions, including these new launches, as it plans for a host of new announcements in the coming months.
