A brief look at investing in the gaming industry with an emphasis on market drivers and monetization strategies for 2021. Read more.
There was a lot of skepticism about investing in the gaming industry during the first half of last year. The pandemic and tumbling economies made people think that the gaming industry will also suffer. But, there has been a great influx of online gamers, and for 2021, the larger prediction is that this trend will continue. This year looks to be a good one for investments in gaming. Here is a brief look at the market drivers for this rise and some of the monetization strategies that investors and gaming companies adopt.
With most people staying and working from home, the gaming industry not only survived the pandemic crisis but soared. It is projected that the industry will grow 19.6% this year, generating a revenue of 174.9 billion dollars. Among the variety of players in the gaming industry, E-sports is the only one that has been struggling as any in-person events are on hold for the foreseeable future. Almost all of the events have been moved to virtual spaces, but we are yet to see if it is sustainable in the long run.
Investing in the gaming industry is now primarily dependant on the rise of users in mobile, console, and PC gaming. Young gamers, particularly under the age of 25, are the primary targets for most games. Therefore, we see a significant rise in the number of gamers and related investment and revenue in countries such as India, where there is a large young population. The fact that high-graphics compatible smartphones have become more affordable to the largest public is also a key market driver. Higher internet-penetration in otherwise technologically lagging geographies, multi-national investments, and the rise in digital payments are also factors that contribute here.
The engrossing nature of online games makes them ideal tools for generating revenue. Gaming companies have seen the potential of such opportunities and monetize them using various strategies. Here are some of the strategies.
