The location-based entertainment market is undergoing a structural transformation. The global LBE market was valued at approximately USD 5.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 25 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research, 28.5% CAGR). Immersive entertainment broadly is projected to grow at 23% CAGR through the same period.
Consumer behaviour has shifted decisively. 68% of millennials now prioritise experiences over goods. Live event ticket prices have risen 45% since 2019, with demand continuing to grow.
The holographic display market in the entertainment and media segment is growing at 25.4% CAGR through 2034. AI is amplifying this: digital human and avatar technology is expanding from USD 15 billion to USD 125 billion, reducing holographic content production costs by up to 80% and making venue-scale holographic entertainment accessible to a far wider range of artists and operators than ever before.
Musion has been at the centre of this industry for over 20 years. 1,200+ events. 45 countries. Holographic technology backed by 70+ patents and F1-certified fire-compliant foil.
