Market Dynamics

Driver: Governments are paying more attention to developing the MICE sector.

Previously, due to the predominance of stakeholders from these regions and the availability of the necessary infrastructure to organize these meetings and events, the highest-level and most anticipated events of a significant nature were limited to Europe and North America. But as times have changed, developing nations outside of the regions mentioned earlier—such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and others—have become more significant on a global scale due to their contributions to the global economy, workforce, GDP, consumer market, supply chain, and workforce. As a result, in order to attract possibilities to improve the lives of their population, the governments of these nations are increasingly concentrating on growing their MICE sector with the proper attitude and finance. Consequently, the government’s growing emphasis on developing the global MICE industry market will increase due to governments placing a greater emphasis on the MICE sector to draw possibilities and strengthen the economy.

Restraints: MICE is expensive.

Planning large-scale events that garner media coverage and attention worldwide requires significant time and money. Due to the financial strain of major international sporting events and political gatherings on already fragile economies, many nations have recently withdrawn their invitations to host such events. Since these events cast a shadow on the domestic issues of poverty and hunger in many countries, citizens also demonstrated against them. Consequently, the MICE industry’s capital-intensive structure will constrain market expansion.

Opportunities: The rising expenditures on infrastructure.

The correct infrastructure—well-equipped to handle the event, accommodate the participants, have a smooth transit, and be both visually beautiful and comfortable without posing an immediate safety risk—is one of the many elements supporting a strong MICE industry. Acknowledging these concerns, governments have made significant investments in developing MICE centres, including conference halls, meeting rooms, a well-equipped virtual room for screen-based meetings, and other essential amenities. Additionally, they are building stadiums with cutting-edge amenities for athletes to use during sporting events. Improvements are being made to the road and aviation infrastructure for smooth and hassle-free travel. During the projection period, the growth of the MICE business will be supported by all of these factors.

Challenges: The growing adoption of virtual meetings.

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the need for, popularity, and adoption of virtual meetings and events. They are cost-effective, both on the part of the organizers and attendees. Given the expansion of data connectivity and internet penetration globally, it is hassle-free. even the most high-level meetings happened virtually and were live-streamed. Therefore, the growing adoption of virtual infrastructure for MICE will challenge the market’s growth.
