How the gaming market is benefiting from this growth

The health crisis has shaken up many sectors but it has benefited the main players in the PC market.

The sector which benefits the most from the crisis linked to the Covid-19 pandemic is that of video games.

Who says confinement says need for distraction, therefore the video game market in great shape: $ 139.9 billion, this is the significant turnover of the sector over the whole year 2020, published by the Superdata institute.

To get an idea of ​​the importance of this figure, the cinema market weighed 100 billion dollars in 2019 and this was a historic first.

The report is revealing of the impact of the pandemic on the gaming sector since the growth which reached 6% in January and February 2020 climbed to 14% in March under the effect of the first confinement.

Market consumption patterns have changed significantly but have been able to adapt to the imperatives of the pandemic.

Although the pandemic affected the sports market, the e-sports market quickly took over.

Fans of competitive gaming tournaments can now attend from their homes via live streaming and broadcast platforms like Twitch or Youtube.

A phenomenon that is also felt on PC sales with the emergence of many models.

Computer manufacturers have for several years had ranges dedicated to this use: HP with its Omen range, Lenovo with the Legions, Acer with the Predator, Asus with the ROG and TUF, not to mention MSI, leader in this segment.

A wide choice of references offered at different price and performance levels, which complicates the task when it comes to

This strong growth does not seem to want to stop there with the dynamics linked to the releases of new consoles, boosted by active demand.

The Sony PlayStation 5 released on November 19, 2020 was a victim of its success with severe chronic stockouts: no online store or physical store offers it for continuous sale.

Bloomberg, the US agency specializing in services to financial market professionals, estimates that this shortage of consoles could extend until the end of 2021.

To continue the boom in the sector, the American company Nvidia has just launched its new generation of graphics cards for laptops and desktops: the GeForce RTX 3000 Series (3070, 3080 and 3090).

These latest references succeed the previous models released in 2018 (RTX 2000) with a premium positioning on the PC video game market.

They go from an engraving fineness of 12nm to 8nm, thanks to the Ampere architecture and offer incomparable functionalities with high technology performance.

The year 2021 remains an uncertain but promising year for the PC market.

The Superdata Institute predicts an increase in market revenues and estimates that growth will continue over the longer term.
