Despite a slowdown in the overall PC market, gaming PCs continue to see strong growth. The gaming PC segment is expected to reach $62 billion in value next year, driven by a large and growing user base, new features, and the increasing demand from content creators.

While global PC sales have struggled over the past two years, weighed down by post-pandemic slowdowns, inflation, component shortages and market saturation, the gaming PC sector saw stable growth. In 2024, gamers worldwide spent over $59 billion on gaming desktop PCs and laptops, 3.6 percent more than last year, making one-fifth of total PC sales.
