Amusement Parks Market
Amusement Parks Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Theme Park, Water Park, and Amusement Arcades), by Ride (Land Rides, Water Rides, and Others), and by Source of Revenue (Hotels/ Resorts, Tickets, Food & beverages, Merchandise, and Others) Forecast Period (2023-2030) Update Available - Forecast 2025-2031
Amusement parks market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. The growing tourism sector along with the development of new amusement parks are key factors driving the growth of the global amusement parks market. For instance, in May 2023, Saudi Arabia announced the development of 24 theme parks, 420 entertainment centres, and the creation of 35 entertainment-based venues. The kingdom expects to attract over 100 million visitors annually by 2030, with combined efforts by the tourism, private, and public sectors. Additionally, according to the government authorities, licenses for 24 theme parks and over 420 entertainment centres have been issued in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
However, the high installation costs associated with building amusement parks is one of the major factor that may restrain the growth of the market globally. In May 2023, a four-year-old girl died from suffocation while playing inside an inflatable bouncy castle as supervising staff members were allegedly distracted by their mobile phones. Such tragic incidents may act as a challenge to the market growth.
Segmental Outlook
The global amusement parks market is segmented based on type and source of revenue. Based on type, the market is segmented into land ride, water ride, and other. Based on source of revenue, the market is sub-segmented into tickets, food and beverages, merchandise, hospitality, and others.

Among these, the Asia-Pacific market is anticipated to cater to a considerable growth over the forecast period. The growing investment in the emerging economies such as India and China for the development of new amusement and theme parks across the region is a key factor driving the regional growth. For instance, in January 2023, Wonderla Holidays Ltd. is in talks with the Madhya Pradesh (MP) Government to set up an amusement park in the state.
Further, in March 2023, tourism department of Bengaluru planned to develop water sports destinations and amusement park near Bengaluru. The plan includes a Disney World kind of theme park somewhere around Bengaluru or Mysuru. Such developments are projected to drive the regional market growth.
