As estimated in this report, the global smart stadium market reached US$4.59 billion in 2017. Witnessing a tremendous increase during the period from 2017 to 2023, revenue in this smart stadium market is expected to reach US$17.18 billion by the end of the forecast period.
Huawei Technology Co. Ltd., Intel Corporation, Cisco System Incorporation, International Business Machine Corporation and Fujitsu are some of the key suppliers of smart stadiums worldwide. These players are aggressively focusing on innovation as well as the inclusion of advanced technologies in their existing products. In the coming years, they are also expected to take on partnerships and mergers and acquisitions as their key strategy for business development, the smart stadium market study states.
Citing an example, in August 2018, Elon Musk's Boring Company announced the construction of a 3.6-mile hyperlink linking downtown Los Angeles to Dodger Stadium via an underground tunnel. The firm reportedly predicts that the cycle can displace nearly 1,400 people to the stadium game, with a total capacity to hold approximately 2,500,000 people each year. Analysts anticipate that the move may prove highly beneficial for the growth of the smart stadium market size in the coming years.
