Gaming Hardware Market in Europe: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

The rising popularity of e-sports games in Europe is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the easy availability of counterfeit products may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Gaming Hardware Market Driver in Europe

The rising popularity of e-sports games in Europe is notably driving market growth. E-sports game is an attempt to make the entertainment value obtained through video games a phenomenon where people can enjoy the game by competing against the best in the globe. E-sports game has an ever-increasing viewership with growing popularity, as e-sports create an environment where the viewer can experience gameplay. On a large scale, e-sports is one of the world's most popular sports entertainment events. E-sports will increase the demand for gaming in specific peripherals, thus driving the market in Europe during the forecast period.

The popularity of e-sports is at an all-time high such as League of Legends, a multiplayer online battle arena game, and Call of Duty: Warzone, a multiplayer battle game that is mostly played by gamers. Gamers earn high prize money. Therefore, an increasing number of gamers are aspiring to be professional gamers. Additionally, with the increasing number of sponsors, tournaments, and talent acquisition agencies, the demand for gaming hardware is expected to increase, which is expected to drive the growth of the market in Europe during the forecast period.

Significant Gaming Hardware Market Trend in Europe

The rising popularity of multiplayer video games is the primary trend in the market growth.  A video game allows one person to play against a programmed environment. However, multiplayer games are gaining popularity, where multiple players are in competition. Multiplayer video games allow players to interact, which is usually absent in single-player games. Gamers can play video games over the network or dial-up connections. Most multiplayer games connect players together through a multiplayer server. Most online games support around 50 players playing simultaneously. The multiplayer gaming mode may have a split-screen, where players play at the same time on one system or on different systems.

The systems are connected to the internet game server. Human contestants in multiplayer games work in tandem with their human partners to achieve common goals. Therefore, the use of gaming peripherals has increased in multiplayer video games. The growing popularity of multiplayer games is leading to the adoption of various gaming hardware such as consoles, PC, and several other hardware have a significant positive impact on the market in Europe during the forecast period.

Major Gaming Hardware Market Challenge in Europe

The easy availability of counterfeit products is a major challenge impeding market growth. Game developers, product and product accessories developers, artists, animators, and motion capture artists often take several years to develop a single video game and its products. However, piracy continues to be a significant threat to the gaming industry. Companies such as Microsoft often update the end-user license agreement, which helps identify the users running unauthorized or counterfeit software. Companies are trying ways to disable the unauthorized use of software or hardware peripheral devices.

Pirated peripheral devices are the modified controllers that are used to gain the tactical advantage of the services. Counterfeit gaming products put a huge toll on innovations and affect the growth of the gaming industry. Thus, counterfeit products pose a serious threat to the growth of the market in Europe during the forecast period.
