The Gaming market size is projected to double by 2026, reaching US$ 400 Billion from the US$ 192 Billion registered in 2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 11.0% forecasted for the 2021–2026 period. The global pandemic has driven many people into their homes, seeking entertainment and relaxation through internet services. The games industry has benefited from a number of factors;

The spreading of mobile internet services, as well as the widespread availability of online games around the world, are likely to continue to drive the gaming market growth.

E-sports is increasing due to the multiple investments and growing prize pool is making this genre ever more popular and sought after.

In the video game industry, game creators are constantly improving and pushing the technological limits in terms of real-time rendering of images, which is predicted to fuel further growth as new games consoles push towards realism.

Easy accessibility and competitive pricing of console gaming devices are expected to further augment the market growth.
