The worldwide the game industry in 2007 was valued at $44.9 billion.[4] This number was expected to grow 9.1% annually to $48.9 in 2011 and $68 billion in 2012, making it the fastest-growing component of the international media sector.[5][6] In 2004, the worldwide industry generated more than $25.4 billion.[7]

Over a decade before, the US retail video game market was worth $7 billion (1994)[8] and $4.7 billion (1990) before that.[9] This period coincided with the arcade renaissance, when US arcades generated $7 billion in 1994,[10] thus the total US market was worth $14 billion in 1994. The total worldwide retail video game market was worth $20.8 billion in 1994,[11] equivalent to over $32 billion with 2012 inflation.[12] By 1990, over 40% of gamers were adults and over 30% of gamers were female.[13]

A decade before that in 1982, $1.5 billion of revenue was generated from console sales in the nascent US home video game market,[14] just before the video game crash of 1983. The total US console market was worth $3.8 billion in 1982.[15] This period coincided with the golden age of arcade video games, which generated annual US revenues of $8 billion from arcade quarters in 1981[16] and 1982.[17] At the height of the arcade golden age, the worldwide video game industry was estimated to be worth as much as $35 billion in 1981,[18] equivalent to over $88 billion with 2012 inflation.[19]

The worldwide PC-based game market is worth as much as $10.7 billion as of 2008. This number includes retail sales, online revenue, digital distribution and relevant ad sales.[20] In 2011, the PC game market increased to $18.6 billion, largely due to the rise of the $6 billion Chinese PC gaming market.[21] By 2015, analysts predict the global video game industry will reach $91 billion.[22]

Comparison with other entertainment

The U.S. video game industry boomed in the early 2000s and became one of the leading forms of entertainment in terms of total revenue. Presently, the industry is at around $22 billion for 2008 (conservative estimate) in the US and $30 to $40 billion globally. Here is how it compares with other entertainment industries.

  • Music industry - $10.4 billion (US 2008)[23] and $30 to $40 billion globally [24][25]
  • Movie industry - $9.5 billion (US)[26] and $27 billion globally.[27]
  • Book industry - $35.69 billion (US 2007) [28] and roughly $63 billion globally (2002) (Euromonitor Intl)
  • DVD industry - $23 billion (US)[29] (buying $16B, renting $7B)

It surpassed the U.S. movie and music industry in 2005 and 2007 respectively. In the 2008, the UK industry blew past the music industry and is expected top DVD sales in the near future.[30]
