The growth of the market can be attributed to the need for a secure, transparent, and decentralized gaming ecosystem. Blockchain technology enables transparency in the gaming market by providing a public ledger of all transactions. This allows players to track the ownership and transfer of their in-game assets and ensures that all transactions are fair and transparent. It provides players with ownership of their game assets and transactions, allowing them to conduct secure transactions without intermediaries.
Asia Pacific region dominated the market in 2022 and accounted for more than 26.0% global revenue share. The growth can be attributed to the growing interest in cryptocurrency and high internet and mobile penetration. There is an increasing interest in cryptocurrency among consumers and investors in the Asia Pacific region, resulting in a growing participation in the cryptocurrency market.
This creates a favorable environment for blockchain gaming, which utilizes cryptocurrency and other digital assets. For instance, in January 2023, Asia Blockchain Gaming Alliance (ABGA), a non-profit organization focusing on blockchain technology in the gaming industry, launched USD 45 million eco fund. The eco fund would be dedicated to supporting and enhancing the development of game developers and companies.
