Get The ReportGaming console shipments to reach 46 million units by 2030
ABI Research forecasts global gaming console shipments to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.7% between 2025 and 2030, increasing from 41 million units sold to 46 million units. North America leads the market (14 million units in 2026 and 17 million in 2030), driven by higher disposable incomes among consumers. Asia-Pacific closely follows, with an enormous population size propelling the region to 16 million units sold by 2030.
Western Europe will see game console shipments increase from 8 million units to 9.7 million units. The rest of the world lags significantly, considering lower wages and different preferences for home entertainment.
On a global scale, total game console sales dip in 2026, and will rebound in 2027 and 2028 as next-gen systems from Sony and Microsoft are expected to launch.
