The overall online game market is expected to eclipse $14.5 billion in 2010 and grow to just over $29 billion by 2015, a 14.8% CAGR. Of this revenue, casual gaming is expected to account for nearly $7 billion of the 2010 revenue and over the course of the five year forecast window it is forecast to grow at a 16.8% CAGR to eclipse $15 billion. The MMO market is expected to be larger in 2010 at $7.6 billion, but will show a lower CAGR of 12.8%, reaching almost $14 billion by 2015. The casual market is expected to grow faster due to the wider audience appeal, but the Asia-Pacific region in particular will help drive the MMO market.
With the continued strong growth of connected devices the revenue potential for online gaming beyond the computer is likewise promising, although a number issues surrounding this market could create hurdles. Despite a strong CAGR, online gaming over connected devices is still expected to represent less than 10% of the overall online game market. If the market addresses many of its issues, then growth could accelerate.
This study examines the casual and Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games markets and the potential role for connected consumer electronics. In this report revenue forecasts are provided by region (North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East Africa) for the online game markets - both computer-centric and connected devices. In addition the research analyzes some of the technical issues involved with the transition from computers to connected consumer electronics.
