Market Growth Factors

The integration of mobile gaming with traditional consoles is a key growth driver in the China gaming console market. Chinese gamers increasingly demand seamless experiences bridging smartphones and consoles, encouraging the development of hybrid consoles capable of cross-platform gameplay. Features such as cloud saving, mobile app support, and effortless content sharing enhance this cohesive ecosystem. With over 700 million mobile gaming users in China, this trend supports innovation and sustained market expansion.

The rapid adoption of cloud gaming, enabled by 5G and advanced digital infrastructure, allows streaming of high-definition console-grade games without costly hardware. This technology reduces console ownership costs while maintaining immersive experiences, broadening the potential customer base across metropolitan and tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Subscription models and cloud-linked gameplay offer manufacturers new recurring revenue streams and meet consumer demands for flexibility.

Government regulatory support significantly boosts the market by providing an encouraging environment for both local and foreign manufacturers. Streamlined approval procedures and reduced red tape facilitate easier licensing of console games, accelerating product releases and localization. In 2024, granting more than 1,400 video game licenses highlighted regulatory openness. These policies foster investment, innovation, and a well-regulated gaming environment, positioning China as a leading force in the global gaming console industry.
