Last updated 2 years ago

Video games have come a long way over the last 30 years, becoming the most profitable and fastest-growing industry in entertainment. An estimated 40% of the world's population now plays video games to some extent, with its popularity even continuing to grow throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, whereas other industries took a substantial hit.

The market for Video Games is projected to only continue growing as new technologies are adopted and integrated into the medium.

Video gamesโ€™ rise to the spotlight also shows in individual user activity, with the average gamer in the USA spending around 7.71 hours a week playing video games.

We are also seeing the medium building up a bigger allocation within an individualโ€™s screen-based leisure time. While right now, movies are neck and neck with video games, and TV still reigning supreme, video games still take up a sizable portion of oneโ€™s extra time during the day, with the data expected to only grow in their favor in the coming years.
