By Type Insights

The F1 segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The Formula One (F1) market traces its origins back to the European Grand Prix championship in the 1920s and 1930s. F1 emerged as a standardized racing series under the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) in the 1940s. Initially, both championship and non-championship series were held, but the latter was discontinued in 1983 due to escalating competition costs. F1 has consistently attracted significant sponsorship, with automotive manufacturers being a prominent category.

However, the ban on cigarette sponsorships by FIA in 2001 negatively impacted the market. Despite this, F1 has continued to secure sponsorships from various industries, leading to an increasing sponsorship value each year. The F1 market encompasses vehicle performance, event hosting, advertising revenue, ticketing revenue, merchandising, and both venue and non-venue racing. Additionally, the adoption of electric motorsports and hybrid technologies is gaining momentum in the industry.
