The global location-based entertainment market size is anticipated to reach USD 25.90 billion by 2030. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 28.5% from 2025 to 2030. The growth can be credited to increasing consumer expenditure on new and exciting adventure and leisure activities. Rising disposable incomes and changing lifestyle patterns are the major factors driving the demand for location-based entertainment (LBE).

The growth of the location-based entertainment market is being further driven by the introduction of technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and mixed reality. These location-based entertainment services combined with these technologies provide visitors with an immersive and real-life experience. The market players are offering VR attractions under one roof to attract more visitors. For instance, in 2022, Sandbox VR announced to enter the Colorado location at Park Meadows Mall to provide a socially immersive gaming experience that combines high-quality haptics and full-body motion capture to provide complete immersion.

Various video game developers are entering into mergers and acquisitions with VR and LBE technology providers to increase their respective market shares. For instance, in February 2021, Vertigo Games, a VR publisher and game developer, acquired Springboard VR, a VR venue management software and content marketplace provider for LBE. The acquisition was aimed at offering operators access to VR content through Vertigo Games' Haze VR distribution platform and providing both game studios and operators with new tools and technology to expand their LBE business.
