Market Challenges

• The mobile gaming industry has experienced significant growth due to the widespread adoption of multimedia devices, particularly smartphones and tablets. Mobile games generate over three-quarters of revenue in the market, with smartphones being the primary contributor. As gaming apps become increasingly accessible and free, they account for a substantial portion of smartphone usage. Consequently, the need for gaming chairs, which are often used for console or PC gaming, may decline. Thus, the expanding mobile gaming sector could negatively impact the global gaming chair market during the forecast period.
• The gaming chair market faces several challenges. Firstly, intense gaming sessions using gaming peripherals can lead to realistic games causing back injuries, muscle stiffness, and wrist issues. Solutions include adjustable lumbar support and ergonomic designs. Secondly, the demand for high-quality gaming chairs, such as racer chairs, recliner gaming chairs, and rocker gaming chairs, is increasing among video game enthusiasts. This includes both high-range and medium-range options with PU or PVC Leather. Sales are strong in gaming center facilities, personal computers, and esports tournaments. However, competition comes from supermarkets and hypermarkets selling low-range chairs. Online stores offer convenience, but quality and durability are crucial. Chairs must cater to cardiovascular functions and torque back support. Metal frames and adequate padding are essential features. The market also includes gaming accessories like pedestal chairs with or without wheels for added functionality. Online streaming and esports streaming platforms further boost demand.
