Amusement Parks - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 150 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Amusement Parks Market size is estimated at USD 80.51 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 101.20 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.68% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
Amusement parks, as commercial entities, offer a diverse range of attractions, including rides, games, exhibits, and shows. They hold a significant place in the entertainment sector and are often sought-after by tourists. Their blend of rides, shows, and unique food and merchandise offerings have ingrained them in modern leisure culture. As interest in recreational activities grows, so does the development of these parks. With their modern amenities and broad appeal spanning all age groups, amusement parks are poised for growth, especially as they draw in more tourists, notably families with children. Theme parks, especially those featuring characters from Disney and other franchises, hold a special allure for young visitors, offering them a chance to interact with their favorite characters. The market is expected to witness further expansion, with a rise in theme-based amusement parks.
Notably, the bulk of amusement park visitors are Generation Z and millennials. This demographic is pushing for cleaner energy sources, reduced waste, and more vegan food options within these parks. Globally, consumers are increasingly valuing experiences over material possessions. The success and popularity of theme-based amusement parks are closely tied to their promotion on social media platforms. Moreover, a key driver of the market's growth is the rising disposable income. Consequently, the proliferation of amusement parks can be linked to evolving lifestyles, cultural changes, and the increasing affluence of the population. These factors are expected to fuel market growth.
While favorable safety regulations have bolstered the industry, challenges like high maintenance costs and energy consumption persist. Companies are actively seeking cost-saving measures and exploring alternative energy sources to combat these challenges. Additionally, the industry is looking toward the future, eyeing opportunities presented by advanced technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The global shift toward renewable energy infrastructure is also leaving its mark on the amusement park landscape.
Amusement Parks Market Trends
The 19 to 35 Age Group is the Fastest-growing in the Amusement Parks Market
The 19 to 35 age group is the fastest-growing segment in the amusement park industry, significantly influencing market trends and park strategies. Positioned between youthful exuberance and rising disposable incomes, this demographic craves immersive, high-adrenaline experiences over traditional rides. They seek excitement and social engagement, pushing amusement parks to adopt advanced technology, interactive attractions, and themed events. These offerings cater to the group's appetite for unique, shareable experiences.
The industry's pivot toward these adventurous and socially driven attractions underscores a broader trend, fueling innovation and expansion. Additionally, this age group is highly active on social media, often sharing their experiences online, which further amplifies the visibility and appeal of these parks. Consequently, theme parks are allocating resources toward digital marketing and social media strategies in order to appeal to and interact with this technology-savvy demographic.
Asia-Pacific Emerges as a Rapidly-growing Market Hub
Asia-Pacific is poised for substantial growth, buoyed by its burgeoning population with rising incomes and a burgeoning appetite for travel. The region's expansive landmass, complemented by enhanced transportation networks, underpins this growth. Moreover, factors like escalating employment rates, a heightened appreciation for amusement parks, and a surge in investor interest bolster the region's trajectory. Recognizing the region's vast population and favorable dynamics, global brands are increasingly turning their gaze toward Asia. Notably, industry giants such as Walt Disney, Marvel, Universal Studios, Legoland, and Cartoon Network have established robust footholds in various Asian nations.
