On-line sport profits continue growth

E-sport in Poland has experienced significant growth during the past year, according to gaming industry officials. “The growing popularity of e-sports (has) undeveloped space in which to expand for the future…it’s a new market with new developments and new opportunities,” Paul Madler, the Chief Operating Officer of Macro Games told Newszoo. The sector is currently worth USD 0.5 million in Poland, but is expected by some to grow to USD 1.9 billion. Although this version of gaming was virtually non-existent a few years ago, the growth rate is currently faster in Poland than in many other European countries. Globally, the value of the industry is estimated to be USD 500 million.
