New Delhi: The global PC gaming and monitor market is expected to reach 69.3 million this year, up 9 percent from 2023, according to a new report.
Gaming desktops, a key segment for high-end gaming and monitors, are expected to rebound in 2025 as new GPUs hit shelves, according to International Data Corporation (IDC).
Gaming penetration is also expected to increase in the future, with gaming accounting for 20 percent of the total PC and monitor market by 2028.
In the second quarter of this year, around 10.6 million units were shipped, while gaming PCs saw a modest 2.4 percent year-over-year recovery.
Gaming monitor growth remained strong as monitor shipments reached nearly 6.5 million units and grew 35 percent year-on-year.
According to Jitesh Ubrani, research manager at IDC, excluding economic challenges, the pause in gaming PCs has also been driven by a lack of interesting hardware and investments from both consumers and vendors in adjacent markets such as wearables. .
Even with further market recovery in the coming quarters, gaming PC volume will remain below that seen in 2021 as some consumers use other gaming methods alongside or instead of traditional gaming PCs, it added. .
The PC and monitor gaming market will recover in 2024, after unit contractions in both 2022 and 2023, according to IDC. Jay Chou, research director at IDC, said gaming monitors hit a couple of milestones in the second quarter of this year.
Additionally, gaming’s share of the total monitor market hit a record 20 percent, as continued price drops and diverted budgets from a slowing gaming PC landscape also helped, Chou explained.
