Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'K-pop Events Market,' The k-pop events market was valued at $8.1 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $20 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2031.Several distinct musical genres and aspects fall under the banner of K-pop. It also includes Korean rock, hip-hop, and electronic music and Korean pop music. K-pop is regarded as a relatively new genre of music. According to financial statistics released in 2021, well-known K-pop companies saw a strong increase in their overseas revenues in the first half of the year as the number and power of fans who are stationed abroad increased to the point where they may influence local music charts.
K-pop events have built a large fan base worldwide. The K-pop events companies are intensively focusing on marketing and creating interest among the consumers. K-pop event management companies dominate social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Moreover, strong economic growth in Europe and Asia-Pacific owing to rapid industrialization has resulted in a significant rise in personal disposable income of the consumers. High consumer spending on entertainment, especially among young consumers, is expected to boost the growth of the global K-pop events market.
The recent decline in recorded music sales has increased demand for live music performances, which has greatly aided the expansion of the worldwide music event sector such as K-pop events. Also, the rise in music tourism activities among spectators and artists has fueled the expansion of the K-pop event industry. The sponsorship income of music events is rising because of increased investments made by several startups and established large organizations to increase the visibility of their brands.
The desire for rock and pop music is also being fueled by the large youth population in developing nations and the growing impact of Western culture in these nations' economies. The market for K-pop events is expanding rapidly due to the popularity of numerous genres as well as rising stars in the world of music. The rise in youth employment, particularly among women, is increasing consumer disposable income, which is anticipated to be one of the key drivers of the K-pop event sector.
Live music is a multinational industry. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the live music industry was valued at around $28.0 billion in 2021. Live music has become very important for the livelihood of musicians and artists owing to the downturn in the sales of recorded music globally in the past few years. Therefore, artists and musicians are heavily relying on conducting live performances through music events.
Live performances of an artist further provide opportunity to various individuals in the value chain of live music such as artist managers, agent/promoters, ticket booking companies, and venue managers. With rise in the number of K-pop, and live music concerts and gigs around the world, the K-pop events industry has gained rapid traction among consumers globally. According to Live Nation Entertainment, a leading player in the music event market, ticket sales are up by 45% and the concert pipeline is up by 30% in 2022. The burgeoning sales of live concerts are expected to drive the growth of the global K-pop events market during the forecast period.
However, various government policy changes and reforms especially in developing economies may hamper the K-pop events business. For instance, demonetization and the introduction of new Goods and Services Tax (GST) policies hampered most of the businesses in India temporarily for a couple of years. Furthermore, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the European Union came into force in May 2018. This EU directive is supported by the British Government and this law is expected to have a significant impact on the music event market, especially in Europe. This regulation is expected to change the decisions of the K-pop and other music event planners regarding the data that were collected previously from the attendees and make organizers more conscious regarding the attendees’ data security. Moreover, planners used the data collected from the attendees for marketing and personalization of their services. These event planners need to strictly comply with the new GDPR regulations failing which may cost them big fines. Therefore, increased focus on data privacy and data security pertaining to the GDPR law may present a challenge for the K-pop event organizers.
According to the top CXOs, the K-pop events will be one of the major drivers of the music event industry. Leading organizers are focusing on customer satisfaction and are coming up with various mobile applications to offer improved accessibility and convenience to the customers. Moreover, they are offering tickets along with the merchandise and accommodation to the consumers. Furthermore, event organizers are partnering with the online ticket providers as most of the youth are using their smartphones to book tickets for music events.
The government's increased investments in infrastructure development and connectivity are also anticipated to have a significant impact on the market for K-pop concerts. The governments of the emerging nations in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific are making investments in the construction of roads, trains, and other forms of connection. Also, when 5G technology becomes more widely used, more people will use digital platforms to purchase tickets, place food orders, and reserve hotel rooms at music events.
