German Games Market Grows and Remains Below €10b Mark
In 2023, Germans have spend 9.97 billion euros on games, gaming hardware and fees for online gaming services. This is the result of new market data presented by the industry association game. The market thus grew by around six per cent, although the sub-markets developed very differently.
The biggest growth in the German games market last year was in console hardware and console accessories. At the same time, sales of gaming PCs fell sharply. This segment is also responsible for the fact that the German games market will again fall short of the ten billion euro sales mark in 2023. This is because GfK has changed the definition of gaming PCs and thus also adjusted the market volumes of recent years. As a result, the German games market will reach a total value of EUR 9.97 billion in 2023, with an increase in sales of six per cent.
