What Are The Core Growth Drivers Shaping The Future Of The Skill Gaming Market?
The escalating use of smartphones is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the skill gaming market in the future. The term smartphone penetration denotes the proportion of people who own and utilize smartphones, signifying the rampant integration and acceptance of mobile technology in everyday life. The increase in smartphone usage is mainly due to lower costs and enhanced accessibility, making these devices available to a broader consumer base. With easy access to games anytime and anywhere, smartphone penetration boosts skill gaming, making it perfect for both casual and competitive gamers. It heightens user engagement by allowing uninterrupted, portable gameplay, thereby easing participation in skill-based tournaments. For example, the UK-based nonprofit organization, GSM Association, reported in October 2023 that nearly 4.3 billion individuals, or 53% of the global population, utilized their smartphones for internet access. Around 80% of mobile internet users now operate 4G or 5G smartphones, indicating a rise of 330 million users from 2022 to 2023.
