The growth of digital gaming globally and especially in Europe soars in the backdrop of initiatives taken by the European Union

The latest publicationprovides an overview of the current state and future developments of the digital gaming market in Europe. It includes information about the growing number of digital gamers, sales arising from video and computer games in certain countries in Europe, as well as the most favored gaming platform among gamers across Europe.

The gaming market revenue worldwide is seen to be rising and reached a value close to EUR 180 billion as of 2022. Furthermore, the gaming market revenue is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of nearly +5% between 2022 and 2025, reaching a value in the billions of euros, as revealed by the report. The boom of the overall gaming market shaped consumer expectations, and brands and gaming companies invested in better gaming processors, improved graphics, advanced games, and gaming hardware, among others, leading to more satisfaction for gamers.

The European digital gaming market is no exception to these changes within the digital gaming market and is also booming in terms of revenue and viewership, making it one of the fast-growing regions when it comes to gaming. Moreover, Europe accounted for the third-largest share of total gaming revenue after Asia-Pacific and North America, generating estimated revenue of close to EUR 30 billion as of 2022.

In terms of the number of gaming players too, Europe constituted a share of more than one-tenth of the total gaming players as of 2022. To further boost the digital gaming market, the European Union has laid down some initiatives in which it aims to invest more than EUR 15 million, as per a source cited in this report. Apart from this, the European Video Game Society project was introduced in January 2022 to evaluate policies and approaches supporting the gaming industry in Europe.

Mobile gaming is yet another emerging trend transforming the digital gaming market in Europe

The mobile gaming market has accelerated following the shift of several digital gamers towards mobile gaming and the rising use of mobile devices as preferred gaming platforms across nations in Europe.
