Market Research Reports, Inc. has announced the addition of “Global Online Gaming Market 2016 - 2020” research report to their website www.MarketResearchReports.com

Lewes, DE -- (SBWire) -- 05/19/2016 --Report forecast the Global Online Gaming Market to grow at a CAGR of 11.72% during the period 2016-2020.

The online gaming market is evolving globally. Broadly, there are two major segments for the purchase and use of online games: physical and digital. However, the physical mode of purchase (i.e., via retail) is gradually losing importance. Because of the increasing popularity of the internet and its widespread use and connectivity, developers and publishers have slowly started selling the games, developed through the internet, in the form of digital copies. Even though sales through the digital mode is still in the early stages, they are growing rapidly, leading to a decline of the matured mode of sale (i.e., via retail).

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Online Gaming Market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of various segments of online games like social, massively multiplayer online (MMO), and digital console. The category excludes spending on the hardware used for playing online games.

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- APAC
- Europe
- North America
- ROW

According to the report, a key growth driver is the increased popularity of F2P games. In F2P online games, the players are not charged to join the game. It allows anyone to join the game with an option to buy additional content for an enhanced experience without financial constraint. For instance, in Planetside 2, all the basic options of the game play are free-of-cost for the players. The users are entitled to XP boosts, enhanced characters and vehicles, and instant weapon unlocks for additional money. World of Tanks offers free online games and has garnered professional gaming attention with its $2.5 million prize pool.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could restrict market growth is the impact of online gaming on physical activity. Many youngsters, especially in the 10-25 age group are spending more time playing online instead of being physically active.
