Abragames takes survey to the international market
|
|
The idea is to show the Brazilian gaming industry potential.
Gamescom, which takes place from August 24 to 26, 2022, in Cologne, Germany, will be the first international event where the National Survey of the Games Industry will be presented. The study is a result of a partnership between Abragames, Brazilian Association of Game Developers, and ApexBrasil, Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, which presented unprecedented data from the national market and a complete mapping of the local developers.
One of the most impressive pieces of information from the survey was the increase in the number of game development studios in the country: from 375 in 2018 to 1,009 in 2022 - a jump of 169% in the last four years. Game developers tend to produce games for more than one area, diversifying the source of revenue. Among the largest revenues are: entertainment games (76%), educational games (12%), advergames (6%), corporate training (4%) and simulators using specific hardware (1%). Mobile devices (38%) are the main technological platform used, followed by PCs (20%), consoles (17%), web (13%), virtual reality/augmented reality (9%) and social media (0.4 %). The main consumer markets for Brazilian productions are the United States and Latin America, which did business with 55% and 53% of Brazilian studios, respectively. After that are Western Europe (49%), Canada (49%), Portuguese-speaking countries (41%), Japan (37%) and China (24%).
Eliana Russi, from the Brazil Games Export Project, who will be with the Brazilian delegation during Gamescom, highlighted that the research was very important to have a general profile of the market, which is one of the fastest growing in the country and has 12,441 people working with game development. According to the survey from Abragames and ApexBrasil, around 29.8% of this total are women. In previous surveys from 2018 and 2014, this same share represented only 20% and 15%, respectively. In addition, 57% of Brazilian companies claim to have a diverse team, with transsexuals, elderly people, foreigners, refugees, people with disabilities, black, brown or indigenous people.
