PC Gaming Hardware Market - A Summary Report on the Gaming Industry For PC Platforms 2H 2016 - Research and Markets

The "The PC Gaming Hardware Market - A Summary Report on the Gaming Industry For PC Platforms 2H 2016" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Comprised of pre- and DIY-built gaming computers, upgrades, and accessories such as input devices and audio/communication systems, the market exceeded $30 billion in 2016 and is forecast to grow at a 6% CAGR through 2019.

Due to an entrenched PC gaming culture, large population, and a lack of significant console traction, the Asia Pacific Region leads the world in both growth and market size with a forecasted 7% CAGR to 2019 from a TAM of almost $11.3 billion in 2016. However, North America and Western Europe both individually lead Asia Pacific for High-End hardware, albeit at lower growth rates of 5.78% and 6.63% vs. 9.61% respectively. The western appetite for PC gaming systems costing thousands of dollars is strong.

Part of the phnomena analysts have observed is that the ranks of PC gamers are growing in the Mid and High-End where ASPs are high. Also, the average PC sale is increasingly motivated by the video game use model which is important to understand in a stagnant or declining overall PC market. As basic computing functions become more entrenched with mobile devices, the PC ultimately becomes a power user's tool, whether for gaming, photo and video editing, content creation, etc.
