Asia is the largest gaming market, with 45% of the world’s gamers living in this region. Singapore is growing rapidly, and the gaming market here is expected to grow over the next several years. This process is aided by a well-developed internet infrastructure, government support for the industry, and the popularization of eSports and successful eSports gamers.
Right now, Singapore has around 220 game developers and publishers, from AAA studios to small indie companies. Some of the games produced here have garnered international attention. Such as the multimillion-dollar Cat Quest series by The Gentlebros.
The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the industry, resulting in increased demand for games. The market research company Euromonitor International estimates that Singapore’s sales of game consoles and games grew by 7.8% in 2020 (compared to 2019) and reached 439.5 million USD. This figure includes sales for home game consoles, handheld consoles, gaming accessories, physical and digital game copies, mobile games, and in-game purchases. Newzoo estimated the market to be 421 million USD in 2020, which is in line with Euromonitor’s estimates. The market continued to see growth in 2021, reaching the 487 million USD mark.
