Increased availability of high-speed Internet is notably driving the cloud gaming market growth. As internet speeds have increased around the world, it has become easier for gamers to stream their games from the cloud. This allows cloud gaming service providers to offer higher-quality graphics and faster response times. Now Cloud gaming services offer greater convenience as users can access games from any device connected to the internet. Because of this, the video game industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with more people playing games than ever before. This has created a huge market for cloud gaming services as people look for new and innovative ways to play their favorite games over better internet connections. Therefore, the availability of high-speed internet is expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growth in mobile cloud gaming is one of the primary cloud gaming trends . As mobile cloud gaming grows in popularity, smartphones, and tablets are becoming more and more popular because it gives players access to high-quality games without the need for powerful devices, giving them more flexibility in terms of when and where they can play games. More and more users are accessing the game. Additionally, mobile cloud gaming services such as Google Stadia, Microsoft xCloud, and NVIDIA GeForce Now have made it easier for gamers to access games on the go without having to carry around a console or gaming PC.
According to a Newzoo report, the market is expected to hit USD 98 billion by 2024, and mobile cloud gaming will be the major contributor to this growth. The convenience of being able to play games on the go and the increasing power and performance of mobile devices are the main factors driving this trend.
Infrastructural and bandwidth challenges are impeding the cloud gaming market growth. Streaming high-quality games requires a lot of bandwidth. This can be difficult for users with access to limited data plans or slow internet connections. High-speed internet has made cloud gaming more accessible, but many parts of the world still lack the necessary infrastructure for reliable high-speed internet access. This can make cloud gaming difficult or impossible in certain countries and can lead to issues such as delay (latency) between user input and game response, which is a significant problem for cloud gaming. Although some cloud gaming service providers have significantly reduced latency by updating their software and browsers, it remains a significant challenge for the market during the forecast period.

The video streaming segment was valued at USD 1,108.45 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. There are several different approaches to video streaming for cloud gaming. A common method is to use a thin client architecture. In this case, the game runs on a remote server and the video is streamed over the Internet to the player's device. In this model, the player's device must be powerful enough to allow video streaming and send input back to the server. This approach is suitable for games with low latency requirements. Another option is to use a more powerful client device that can handle some processing locally. In this model, part of the game runs on the local device and part on the remote server. This reduces latency and improves the overall gaming experience but requires more powerful devices and more complex architectures. In both cases, the video streaming technology used must be able to handle the high bandwidth and low latency demands of cloud gaming. This typically involves adaptive bitrate streaming where video quality is optimized based on the player's internet connection and a specialized protocol designed for low-latency video streaming, such as WebRTC or the Low Latency HLS (LL-HLS) protocol. Overall, moderate growth is expected for the video streaming segment during the forecast period.
