The Philippines has firmly established itself as a thriving center for online gaming, boasting a rapidly expanding community of gamers engaged in both competitive and leisurely pursuits. Recent research indicates that the online gaming market is on a trajectory of robust growth, with projections anticipating a revenue surge to US$27.75M by 2024. The user penetration rate is expected to witness a significant uptick of 13.9% in 2024, further escalating to 14.2% by 2028, propelling the industry’s evolution within the country.
Among the factors contributing to the surge in online gaming popularity is the Filipino preference for mobile phones as gaming devices. This inclination is largely attributed to the widespread availability of cost-effective smartphones and innovative mobile internet solutions.
