DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Southeast Asia and Chinese Taipei PC Games Report & Five Year Forecast” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
PC and mobile game revenue for Southeast Asia + Chinese Taipei will exceed $5 billion in 2019 and is projected to pass $8.3 billion in 2023 with 320 million gamers.
What you’ll learn from this report:
Southeast Asia is the world’s fastest-growing region for PC online games revenue. The region is also home to the fastest-growing market for esports. Teams, tournaments, and investment are all hot in the region, with no sign of slowing down. Improvements in internet infrastructure as well as disposable income, coupled with demand for esports games, tournaments, streaming, and more, have set the stage for continued growth in the next 5 years.
Investment in the region by multinational companies and country governments will continue to boost this growth. The region represents a huge opportunity however each country’s different culture, gamer preferences, and spending behaviors means there is no one size fits all approach to the region. Further, while the regulatory landscape is more relaxed than China, several countries have regulations that do impact strategy for the region.
The report includes Chinese Taipei into our Asia reports rather than with mainland China, because as a games market it does not have much in common with mainland China. Some game publishers and platform providers wrap Chinese Taipei into Asia instead of Greater China, this report follows their lead.
