Newzoo reveals 2022’s predicted numbers, and future growth

Newzoo this week released its final report of 2022, forecasting the final numbers of the games industry in 2022. The industry overall appears to have a slight decline this year, though Newzoo says it’s due to market correction. It also predicts a few numbers for 2023, though its numbers can change as 2022’s have.

The report reiterates Newzoo’s previously predicted numbers for the 2022 market. It predicts the 2022 market will generate $184.4 billion, a 4.3% decrease year-over-year. It also predicts mobile games will generate $92.2 billion, a 6.4% decrease. It’s reported both of these numbers before. Out of all the games markets, PC is the only one where it predicts growth, specifically in downloaded or physical titles.
