Gaming GPU Market Size

Gaming GPU Market Analysis

The Gaming GPU Market size is estimated at USD 3.65 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 15.70 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 33.84% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The rising gamification trend among millennials has led to the increasing adoption of a virtual world for video gamers. Gaming machines have also evolved from powerful location-based devices found in restaurants, arcades, and bars to in-home machines in the form of gaming consoles and then PCs. As Moore's Law drove down chip prices and increased performance, people bought more gaming machines for the home, which has a positive price elasticity effect at the expense of location-based gaming machines. As gaming machine sales have increased in the last few years, the demand for gaming GPUs has grown significantly.

• The demand for high-end computing systems for graphics-intensive gaming applications has increased with the rising adoption of smartphones, tablets, PCs, and consoles for gaming purposes. The growing demand for specialized processors that can handle complex mathematical calculations related to the 2D and 3D graphics required for gaming drives the GPU market demand.
• Technological advancement in high-performing computing may also develop an opportunity for GPU vendors. For instance, in April this year, Nvidia stated that researchers discovered trends in Hubble data on April 25 using a supercomputer with NVIDIA GPUs. Also, high-performance computing is used with NVIDIA GPUs to increase the understanding of all planets and analyze their torrid atmospheres.
• Other drivers for the market include industry verticals such as automotive, manufacturing, real estate, and healthcare, with the rising usage of processors to support graphics applications and 3D content. For instance, in manufacturing and design applications in the automotive sector, CAD and simulation software uses GPUs to create realistic images and animations for critical applications.
• Gaming GPUs use advanced technologies and materials. One of the primary factors contributing to the high price of current GPUs is higher manufacturing expenses. Only the materials that producers can afford can be produced. Producers are thinking of maximizing their profits without sacrificing a product's quality or quantity due to rising manufacturing costs, which cause a rise in the selling price of the GPU. Due to this huge initial investment, consumers prefer to use something other than the latest gaming GPU in their devices, which is a challenge for market growth.
• Modern-day video game consoles and servers utilize many components, including gaming GPU circuits. COVID-19 threatened the average production of many of these components due to supply chain problems. However, semiconductor foundries started resuming production, which motivated manufacturers in the market. Demand in cloud computing, gaming, data center servers, automation, and AI technologies could help GPU manufacturers revive growth in the later part of the pandemic.
