Gamification market refers to the social layer that involves engagement and loyalty, which exists on any enterprise or consumer-facing application. Gamification at its core is a marketing tool, which is used to engage customers to a particular brand in consumer gamification and engage employees with the organizational strategies and plans in employee gamification. The traditional way of engagement is to advertise the product or ideas and flash it across the portal or website. Retaining attention and driving real results remained a challenge in traditional loyalty programs such as campaigns. While just plain points, badges and other virtual goods may not have long lasting user engagement effects in gamification; they serve as an appropriate reward system, equipped with user attention grabbing techniques and immersive graphics technology, which can enable user engagement, over a period of time. Immersive digital technology implies the use of creative gaming dashboards, which imitate real life games such as golf, baseball or Farmville to be designed within and in sync with enterprise applications or the consumer brand which it is to be engaged with.

Global gamification market adoption trends and a prominent pervasiveness across most verticals are clear indications of a positive growth, as early adopters have emerged as brand names in this sector, startup companies are trying to pack in a punch with their product uniqueness and grab the limelight in this highly fragmented market.

Gamification addresses the basic human instinct to get enticed by any novel, competitive, rewarding and fun idea, similar to what they experience while playing any game. Gamification inculcates game mechanics such as points, badges, levels, ranks, avatars, virtual goods and a host of other motivational mechanics, most of them used in combination with each other or as a chain of events with one reward leading to another, on any existing website, e-commerce portal or enterprise application.

While consumer gamification drives consumer purchases and new referrals from the prospective customers; employee gamification can drive employee motivation to align their behavior with organizational strategies, tasks and disciplinary plans thereby resulting in better acceptance of management plans along with increased productivity and low attrition.
