Virtual event platforms provide a wide variety of resources for planning, promoting, and conducting online events. These products are designed to help companies deliver the same sense and meaning of in-person events through a digital experience. Virtual event platforms are modular software solutions that can be used to organize and host various types of online activities, such as association meetings, trade shows, multi-session conferences, and job fairs. Many features of virtual event platforms are similar to those of event management platforms.
Virtual event platforms promote interactive interactions through built-in webcasting features, integrations with webinar software, or either, while the latter focuses on organizing in-person events. By integrating interactive content including Q&A, live surveys, community chat, and 1:1 networking, virtual event platforms can therefore help replicate in-person event experiences. Many solutions use mobile event apps to improve interactive events, allowing attendees to access event content from any smartphone.
Today's developments have compelled businesses to embrace augmented and virtual reality technologies in order to stay afloat. As a result, software developers are focusing on effective networking solutions to assist businesses in achieving their goals. When it comes to virtual meetings and conferences, smart devices are heavily used.
The integration of Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has increased in recent months. With the pandemic approaching its second peak, demand for virtual event management software is expected to rise, creating huge opportunities for entrepreneurs and business organizations alike.
As COVID-19 is intensifying, digitally simulated platforms for the organization of live virtual events are being implemented across various end-use industries. Healthcare, hospitality, education, banking & finance, and marketing are among the key users of virtual event platforms. These end-users use interactive networks to facilitate online activities, virtual conferences, seminars, lectures, and trade fairs to deal with the changing standard.
As a result, software such as Zoom Meetings, Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, and Skype are gaining momentum. The novel coronavirus pandemic has resulted in a dramatic reshaping of the global economy.
Government-mandated lockdowns pushed companies to accommodate work-from-home operations, thereby moving enterprises to the virtual platform. The global virtual event platforms are expected to continue to expand at a rapid rate throughout the pandemic's duration. Large, medium, and small businesses have increased expenditure on cloud and virtual event management platforms, with meetings and conferences being conducted online.
On the basis of components, live event support services are expected to be the most common solution. Live virtual meetings and conferences have become popular as a result of the pandemic, highlighting the need for suitable live event streaming platforms. Similarly, integrated virtual event platforms are gaining traction and are expected to expand significantly during the forecast period. The segment's growth is being fueled due to a spike in the number of online meetings, lectures, conferences, and events.
In terms of end-users, academic institutions held a significant share in 2020. Shutdowns enforced by the government to combat the coronavirus have forced schools, colleges, and universities to go virtual, broadening the reach of virtual event platforms for educational institutions. In order to deliver lectures and conduct classes, these institutions make extensive use of streaming platforms. In addition, the rising demand for smart classrooms to deliver high-quality education is improving the virtual event platforms market's prospects. Since pre-pandemic days, various schools and colleges have integrated online meeting and event platforms. This helped institutions boost their workflow and invest less in physical infrastructure.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are progressing as the industry leaders in virtual event networks, with a significant CAGR. The increasing need to improvise workflows is propelling the industry forward. Moreover, the pandemic crisis has had a particularly negative impact on SMEs. They're using hybrid and mainstream on-site virtual event platforms to make up for sales and profit margin shortfalls, especially in industries like banking, automotive, and chemical manufacturing.
