Spain is a shining example of the esports industry. It is frequently overlooked because it is part of the larger "European market," which can sometimes obscure the complexities of those in the Americas or Asia. However, with esports mainstays like MAD Lions and G2 Esports hailing from Spain, every esports fan is aware of the Spanish esports scene's industry impact. EA Sports' FIFA competitions are highly valued in Spain, as the home of one of the world's most important football leagues (La Liga), with a FIFA league supported by La Liga itself, the eLa Liga. Football also made an appearance in Spanish esports when FC Barcelona's Gerard Piqué teamed up with streamer Ibai Llanos to form KOI in 2021. Barcelona Football Club owns a company called Barça eSports. Spanish bank Santander and telecom company Movistar are two of the main sponsors of the local scene. Foreign esports organisations are also interested in entering the Spanish market, such as the Italian organisation QLASH, which has been investing in a rapid expansion in the country. The Spanish esports ecosystem experienced a revenue slowdown as a result of COVID-19. However, esports may gain popularity during this time period, as approximately 53% of the Spanish audience began to watch esports following the implementation of the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Furthermore, during the pandemic, more than half of existing esports consumers (around 55%) increased their consumption. According to the research report "Spain eSports Market Research Report, 2028," published by Actual Market Research, the market is expected to add USD 63.98 million by 2028.Streaming is expected to dominate the segment share during the forecast period. The growing emphasis on fan engagement is likely to fuel demand for live sports events. Furthermore, the rise in smart phone users is expected to fuel demand for live sports tournaments. Media rights are making a significant contribution to the country's esports industry. Fans can now track live esports activity across the country thanks to easy access to communication technology. Media companies pay exorbitant fees to win the exclusive rights to broadcast live streaming of major sporting events. In recent years, the sale of broadcasting and media rights has been the most important source of revenue for most esports organizers. The revenue generated by the sale of media rights is used to fund major sporting events, renovate stadiums, and contribute to the grassroots development of esports. During the forecast period, sponsorship is expected to grow rapidly, followed by advertising. As the number of viewers grows, the sponsoring team invests in the platform to strengthen its brand image. Similarly, various gaming platforms include in-app advertisements to boost revenue generation.
