Expansion of Cloud Gaming with the Launch of 5G Drives the Global Market

According to Straits Research, “The global cloud gaming market size was valued at USD 615.30 million in 2021. It is projected to reach USD 17706.48 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 45.25% during the forecast period (2022-2030).” Despite the advancement of data networking technology, there are still limitations to mobile cloud gaming. For instance, there are times when it is difficult to find fast broadband infrastructure, and 4G has a poor track record for dependability and speed. It may be difficult to meet performance standards due to players' proximity to cloud servers, last-mile packet loss, and network congestion. Due to 5G's claims to solve these problems, many organizations are expanding into mobile cloud gaming.

5G efficiently uses the signal spectrum through mmWave. mmWave employs more significant bandwidth frequencies to communicate because TV and radio communications primarily use lower frequencies. mmWave is more effective in areas with high user and dense population densities (e.g., stadiums for eSports venues, Internet gaming cafes, etc.). Additionally, gaming traffic might be offloaded in congested areas using an unlicensed frequency.

Growing Government Initiatives Related to Cloud Infrastructure Creates Tremendous Opportunities.

Due to governments' robust cloud infrastructure plans in the European and North American areas, numerous regional start-ups entered the cloud gaming sector. Some include Shadow, Parsec, Blackout, LiquidSky, and others. Additionally, the US government unveiled the Cloud First Initiative, which aimed to cut waste and improve efficiency in the technological services provided by the US federal government by reducing government IT spending and promoting the growth of cloud infrastructure in the region. The European Commission's Data Strategy, Digital Strategy, Industrial Strategy, and EU Recovery Plan all say that cloud computing aims to increase European data sovereignty.

Numerous workstreams will be able to expand due to the European Commission's formation of the European Alliance on Industrial Data, Edge, and Cloud. The EU Cloud Rulebook for cloud services will offer a uniform European framework of regulations, transparency on their compliance, and best practices for cloud use in Europe. These include European marketplaces for cloud services, where users will have a single portal to cloud offerings meeting crucial EU standards and rules. These projects will work together to provide the cloud supply of the future.
