Realizing innovative opportunities in the amusement-park industry

The market size of the amusement-park industry in 2023 has been reported at more than 74 billion dollars. This figure in 2022 was close to 64 billion dollars. Forecasts say that through 2032 this industry's market size will grow 5.5 percent annually. Amusement parks in the world are divided into four types: theme parks (thematic parks), water parks, zoos, and adventure parks. Among these, the greatest growth belongs to theme parks and then to water parks.

The Walt Disney company is regarded as the world's largest amusement-park complex. This company's greatest revenue is from its entertainment products, but in the next rank this company has its greatest revenue from its amusement parks. Disney's revenue from its amusement parks in 2023 reached 32.55 billion dollars; 8 billion dollars less than the revenue of its entertainment-centered products.

Amusement parks can have high profitability. In this post we sat down for a conversation with several successful Iranian businesses in the amusement-park field. In the view of these businesses' owners, the amusement-park industry in Iran suffers from a shortage of specialist workforce in producing amusement-park equipment. Also, reception of amusement parks is declining, and this means that Iranian children and adolescents have probably found being entertained with a phone or a personal computer more entertaining than amusement parks. But one must still operate in this industry and, with up-to-date technology and specialists, make greater use of this industry's capacity.
