Market Trends of Event Management Software Industry

SMEs​ to Witness Major Growth

  • Small business owners and entrepreneurs often grapple with distinct challenges compared to larger corporations, fostering a sense of isolation as they navigate their business journeys. Conferences and networking events offer a vital platform for these individuals, including 'solopreneurs,' to engage with like-minded professionals, fostering cooperation and the exchange of ideas.
  • For instance, according to the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises India, as of March 2024, the Udyam portal, along with the Udyam Assist Platform (UAP), boasted a total of 4,00,42,875 registered MSMEs, showing consistent growth. Of these, micro-enterprises dominate, numbering 3,93,18,355, making up nearly 97.7%. Small enterprises follow, with 6,08,935 entities, accounting for about 1.5%, while medium-sized enterprises stand at 55,488, representing roughly 0.8% of the registered MSMEs. Such a vast number of SMEs may create an opportunity for the growth of the market studied.
  • There are various advantages for SMEs when organizing events. Such benefits may propel small and medium enterprises to launch new events, which would proportionately drive the demand for the market studied. For example, events draw a diverse crowd, from potential customers and partners to industry peers. For small businesses, networking at these events is invaluable. It paves the way for collaborations, partnerships, and crucial word-of-mouth referrals, all essential for driving growth.
  • Moreover, events provide an excellent platform for market research. Small businesses can analyze competitors, delve into consumer behavior, and glean insights into emerging trends. Such intel is instrumental in product refinement, service enhancement, and maintaining a competitive edge.
  • According to the European Commission, in 2023, the European Union was home to an estimated 24.4 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The majority of these were micro-sized, employing fewer than nine individuals. Additionally, there were 1.32 million small firms, each with 10 to 49 employees, and 202,278 medium-sized enterprises, employing 50 to 249 workers.
  • Furthermore, events offer many content creation opportunities, from live-streamed sessions to exclusive behind-the-scenes peeks. The content produced during events holds immense potential for repurposing. Insights and anecdotes from these occasions find their way onto a company's social media platforms, blog posts, and newsletters, extending the event's impact long after its conclusion.
  • Moreover, hosting events often leads to the organic creation of user-generated content. As attendees share their event experiences on social platforms, they craft a compelling narrative around the brand, significantly enhancing its visibility. Leveraging this user-generated content can mimic the effects of influencer marketing, potentially driving up sales.
  • Additionally, many events support the growth of SMEs in various regions. For example, at the 2024 SME Arizona conference, the program delves into advancements in mining projects and technical innovations, spanning mining, geology, metallurgy, environmental concerns, new projects, and blasting. This event, exclusive to the challenges and prospects of the mining industry in the desert southwest, is a cornerstone in the region. Renowned for its top-notch content, networking opportunities, and community support events like the Mining Foundation of the Southwest Hall of Fame and the SME Student Chapter Golf Tournament fundraiser, it's one of the much-anticipated annual rendezvous for industry peers and friends.
