Curtailment in the Corporate Event Planner Market

High Initial Cost and Complex Integration of Event Management Software to Encumber Growth

Integrating event management software solutions with CRM systems allows event planners to easily plan, promote, and track all activities. However, integrating this software with CRM or other business functions is difficult because it necessitates a high level of technical expertise.

Lack of technical knowledge, particularly in SMEs, may result in the software's integration with other business systems failing, resulting in the loss of critical business information. Furthermore, high initial costs, as well as a lack of expertise, are some key factors impeding the growth and opportunities.

High Prices are Projected to Pose the Most Significant Market Restraint

The cost of organizing the event is very high, and this is expected to restraint the global market during the forecast period.

Most organizations and individuals are interested in organizing an event, but the high cost and the event planners' fees limit market growth. Most organizations and the general public avoid hiring an event planner due to the higher costs.
