Gaming Market 2025-2029: Drivers & Challenges

AR and VR gaming involves merging digital content with the real world in real time. The growing popularity of AR gaming is expected to boost the adoption of AR/VR devices among gamers. Consequently, game developers are increasingly turning to AR and VR technologies, abandoning traditional gaming devices. Major companies like Sony and Microsoft are investing in advanced 3D technologies to create gaming platforms. For instance, Microsoft's HoloLens 2, launched in India in January 2022, offers sensors for head and eye tracking, enabling users to engage with holograms. This trend is set to continue, with the forecast period witnessing increased usage of AR/VR devices in gaming.

The global gaming market faces a significant challenge with the regulation of loot boxes. Loot boxes are virtual items purchasable with real money, granting randomized in-game rewards. While they can improve gaming experience for some, critics argue they promote gambling and exploit vulnerable individuals, including children. Regulators in countries like Belgium, Australia, and the Netherlands have responded, banning or regulating loot boxes. These actions may necessitate modifications to game developers' and publishers' business models.
