As one of the fastest-growing entertainment industries globally, the video games market continues thriving with no signs of stopping any time soon. Thanks to a multi-billion user base worldwide, PC, mobile, and console games bring billions in revenue each year, and the number of new gamers keeps on rising.<\/p>\n

While most entertainment industries suffered from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the videogame market showed double-digit growth in 2020. The COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown rules helped global gaming revenues rise 23% YoY to over $137 billion in 2020, and experts don\u2019t see the growth taking a hit in 2021, especially after the release of next-gen PlayStation and Xbox.<\/p>\n

According to Statista data, the revenues in the global video games segment are expected to jump by 13% and hit over $156bn this year. Almost half of that figure will come from Asia, the largest and fastest-growing gaming market globally. Statista projections indicate Asian gaming revenues will jump by 25% and hit $108.8bn by 2023, more than American and European revenues combined.<\/p>\n
