In-Game Advertising Market – Market Dynamics
Key Drivers
The increase in the number of gamers and growing partnerships between advertisers and video game companies are the key factors driving the market growth. The rapid expansion of the gaming industry, fueled by the rise of free-to-play online video games like Apex Legends and Fortnite, is projected to surpass a value of USD 300 billion by 2025. Furthermore, with a global gaming population exceeding 2.4 billion individuals, advertisers are expected to take advantage of the opportunity to invest in in-game advertising. This strategy will allow them to efficiently target a diverse audience, including various demographic groups and geographical locations, in a shorter period of time. This type of advertising helps in the development of an effective audio-visual impact, which can leave viewers with a positive and long-lasting impression of the product. Hence, these factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Major Trends
The incorporation of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with in-game advertising is a major trend shaping the market. Marketing enterprises have expanded their utilization of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which was formerly used for sentiment analysis, to include its application in in-game advertising. These businesses use NLP to obtain insights into individuals’ cognitive processes, which include emotions, thoughts, behavior, and language, to achieve desired results. For instance, in a racing game, a gamer facing potential defeat can receive a performance boost through exposure to an advertisement, ultimately helping in achieving victory. Gamers are more likely to interact with in-game advertising, which leads to increased brand engagement. Hence, these strategies are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Challenges
The growing use of advertisement-blocking solutions is a significant challenge restricting market growth. The increased interruption created by in-game advertising before and during gameplay might have an impact on the player’s experience. Some advertisements bring little value or relevance to gamers, increasing their level of dissatisfaction while playing. As a result, this encourages gamers to use ad-blocking software to prevent adverts from being displayed while playing video games. The adoption of these ad-blocking solutions results in losses for game producers and marketers because no revenue is earned from gamers who use ad-blocking solutions. Hence, these factors are expected to restrict market growth during the forecast period.
