Gaming is widely recognized as the largest entertainment category globally. In terms of global spending, gaming constitutes a $317 billion industry. This sizing includes several key segments in addition to gaming content and virtual goods purchases: other forms of content and IP sales, sales of any gaming hardware and equipment (including consoles), as well as gaming software such as streaming services (e.g., Twitch), gamer communication (e.g., Discord), game engines (e.g., Unity), and other items.

The market categories range from hardware sales to in-game sales and include:

Several categories are relevant to Web 3 economics and are ripe for disruption (2021 Spend):

  • Mobile Gaming Content: $80 billion

  • PC & Console Gaming Content: $83 billion

  • Grey Market Game Sales: $12 billion

  • Blockchain Gaming: $1.5 billion.

  • Total: $176.5 billion.

Blockchain gaming, a category currently valued at "only" $1.5 billion, is experiencing exponential growth, with an estimated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 100%. The potential market size for blockchain gaming in 2025 could reach $50 billion.
