Market Overview

The Cloud Gaming Market was valued at USD 1.15 billion  and is expected to reach USD 2.70 billion, at a CAGR of 15.3% over the forecast period. Walmart is planning to launch its own cloud gaming service. The US retail giant has conducted meetings concerning a possible streaming platform, since 2019 January.

– In order to utilize and harness the benefits of cloud computing, governments of developing countries are embarking on initiatives, like “GI Cloud” or ‘MeghRaj’ by Indian government (2018), and “Cloud First Strategy” by the Malaysian Government (2018). According to Egypt’s Telecom Ministry, Egypt may host the Chinese telecom company Huawei’s first cloud data platform in the Middle East and North Africa in 2019.
– Another factor opening new opportunities for cloud gaming is 5G, which is being adopted in the developed countries, like the US and South Korea. Several telcos, like Verizon, have started testing new cloud gaming formats on their 5G networks since January 2019. Gaming on mobiles has been limited so far to casual low-spec games. With 5G, this may radically change, enabling a newly installed base of millions of mobile devices to be gaming-ready.
– According to 2018 BSA Global Cloud Computing Scorecard, which ranks countries’ preparedness for the adoption and growth of cloud computing services, developing countries are scored less than developed ones when it comes to IT readiness and broadband deployment. Thus, bandwidth and latency issues may obstruct the expansion of the cloud gaming market in the emerging economies.
 
Scope of the Report

Cloud gaming is an emerging technology in the gaming industry, which allows a user to stream high-end games on devices, such as laptops, tablets, and mobiles, with a good internet connection. Cloud gaming is ideal for gamers, as they have to regularly upgrade their console or PC hardware to play games, which leads to additional costs and less fun. Video streaming is gaining more traction than file streaming.
