3. Report Description and Highlights Report Description Global Gaming Market Spurred by Innovations in Technology Over the past few years, the global gaming market has witnessed a robust growth owing to the increasing penetration of mobile devices and internet coupled with advancements and innovations in hardware and software technologies. The recent report by IMARC Group, titled “Gaming Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the global gaming market reached a value of US$ 98.5 Billion in 2017. Gaming refers to the act of playing video games through different media such as computers, consoles, arcade machines or mobile phones. It helps in improving physical and mental skills, provides relaxation, fosters positive values such as cohesion and friendship, increases self-esteem, and encourages teamwork. These benefits have not only encouraged the growth of the gaming industry but have led to the trend of gamification which encourages and motivates participants to perform daily tasks usually not connected to gaming. Technological proliferation and innovations in both software and hardware, such as voice recognition, and virtual and augmented reality gaming, have further attracted a larger consumer-base.
