Gaming Market: Key Drivers and Trends
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The integration of blockchain technology is notably driving the gaming market growth, although factors such as regulation over loot boxes may impede the market growth. To unlock information on the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the gaming market industry get your FREE report sample now.
Gaming Market Key Driver
The integration of blockchain technology in the gaming industry is enabling players to trade in-game virtual assets with other competing players and facilitate peer-to-peer transactions. The technology is being adopted by several gaming companies and gaming console manufacturers. Microsoft recently announced its plan to roll out blockchain technology for Xbox. The integration of blockchain is expected to provide fast and secure payment networks and allow game developers to monetize their gaming services efficiently. The integration of blockchain technology will provide substantial growth opportunities for gaming companies during the forecast period, driving the growth of the gaming market size.
Gaming Market Key Trend
The increasing emergence of cloud gaming is another major factor supporting the gaming market share growth. Cloud gaming technology enables users to stream video games from the web. The increasing popularity of social media and mobile gaming is supporting the growth of cloud gaming. Cloud gaming services have the potential to reach non-core gamers that play games on social media and mobile devices because of the cost-effective price structure of cloud gaming. Cloud-based games are stored on cloud-based platforms and streamed constantly. Cloud gaming eliminates the need for high-quality graphic cards in PCs and mandatory PC upgrades and offers an enhanced gaming experience on any device that has average processing capability. Therefore, it allows users to access these games on PCs with less storage and processing capacity. Thus, the emergence of cloud gaming will drive the growth of the global gaming market during the forecast period.
Gaming Market Key Challenge
The regulation over loot boxes will be a major challenge for the gaming market. Loot boxes are digital boxes or packages consisting of in-game items that are sold for money or in-game currency. The use of loot boxes in games has been viewed as an unauthorized form of online gambling and an addictive practice, particularly for children. As a result, governments in many countries, such as China, Japan, Belgium, and Australia, have introduced strict regulations regarding the use of loot boxes during the design and release of games in those countries. These regulations might have a negative impact on the market growth as loot boxes account for a major chunk of in-app purchases.
