The rise of professional gaming is notably driving the MMORPG market growth, although factors such as lack of distributed network connections may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Massive Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) Market Driver
The rise of professional gaming is one of the key drivers supporting the MMORPG market growth. There are several MMORPGs that require talented artists to bring the designer's ideas to life by creating vivid characters and environments from scratch. Significantly, game programmers ensure that the characters are playable and controllable. Moreover, with the emergence of artificial intelligence, game programmers make interacting with non-playable characters as realistic as possible in the gaming environment. Therefore, the MMORPG market size across the world will expand owing to the rise of professional gamers who are an integral part of this rapidly growing industry. Such an increase in demand will drive the growth of the massive multiplayer online role-playing game market during the forecast period.
Key Massive Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) Market Trend
Games converting to the F2P model is one of the key MMORPG market trends fueling the market growth. The F2P model gives ample opportunities to gaming companies, as gamers get to play games free of cost, including games that were not chosen before. In addition, companies get access to several gamers who wish to try their games. They can also create content based on the player's choices. Therefore, companies can build successful and profitable games, drawing content from user-initiated choices. Moreover, the availability of microtransaction options in this model is a huge advantage. Such advantages will propel the demand for F2P games, which, in turn, will fuel the growth of the global MMORPG market during the forecast period.
Key Massive Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) Market Challenge
The lack of distributed network connections is one of the factors challenging the MMORPG market growth. Primarily, developing a server for MMORPGs with a client-server architecture is difficult in areas that lack broadband infrastructure. The game design creates an immersive play experience, which enables thousands of gamers to connect simultaneously to the same gaming world. Hence, the game design requires reliable and persistent connections that do not impact the player's gaming experience. However, many countries, such as some APAC countries, South American countries, and some African countries, still have limited network infrastructure and bandwidth availability. Therefore, the limitations result in difficulties while synchronizing resources and real-time services online. Thus, the lack of distributed network connections in developing countries results in the loss of gaming interest for players. Such factors can hamper the growth of the global MMORPG market during the forecast period.
