The global market for PC-based gaming hardware is projected to reach .5 billion by 2025, marking a 35% increase. This market includes desktops, notebooks, DIY setups, and various peripherals. A significant challenge for gamers is the need for a forced hardware migration, requiring CPU upgrades for over 100 million gamers, which may also necessitate motherboard and RAM upgrades. Dr. Jon Peddie forecasts a 13% decline in entry-level PC gaming over the next five years, potentially resulting in over 10 million individuals leaving the PC platform, although many are upgrading to midrange and high-end hardware. Jon Peddie Research offers a comprehensive PC Gaming Hardware Market Models and Consulting Package, which is valuable for industry stakeholders, providing insights for product launches and market analysis.
