Video game market revenue growth in the U.S. 2018-2027, by segment
In the United States, video games generated approximately 49.68 billion U.S. dollars of revenue in 2021. While the overall market revenue grew by 10.5 percent year-over-year, the digital market segment increased by 12.7 percent. Due to COVID-19, 2020 was also the first year in the observed time that had a positive revenue growth rate in the physical games segment. However, despite this year of success, the segment is projected to continue to decline and in 2022 alone lose around 13.2 percent of annual revenue when compared with 2021.
