The MICE industry market is propelled by a growing emphasis on sustainability, driven by consumer awareness of environmental impacts. Event planners are integrating reusable products and convenient recycling facilities at venues. Another trend is the rising demand for hybrid and virtual events, which offer participants the flexibility to choose between physical or digital attendance, a trend that gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to persist post-pandemic.
Hosting MICE events offers venues significant benefits, including revenue generation and enhanced reputation. The MICE industry also attracts investments that improve overall hospitality offerings. Globalisation has expanded the reach of MICE, drawing events and participants globally. International corporations and organisations seek diverse meeting locations, contributing to a more globalised industry.
The expanding social media industry is a key driver for the MICE sector, leveraging its interactive and collaborative nature. Governments worldwide are supporting startups and MSMEs through initiatives that promote the market growth. Exhibitions serve as crucial platforms for MSMEs to showcase offerings, enhancing business development, brand visibility, and networking. Startup networking events foster knowledge sharing, collaboration, and funding opportunities.
