As the study published on Wednesday shows, the gaming industry has increased its annual worldwide sales to an estimated CHF 150 billion during the pandemic. According to Deloitte, this could even exceed revenue from the film and music industry. A key driver is the growing popularity of esports.
About 45 percent of respondents in Switzerland said they’ve played a video game at least once in the past six months. The average weekly gaming time was eight hours, and this is mainly due to a group of “heavy users”, according to the study.
However, in a European comparison, Switzerland lags behind: about 55 percent of the population in Europe has played video games in the last six months. Average playing time per week was around 15 hours, almost double that in Switzerland.
“Let’s play!” For the study 2022», approximately 14,000 people in Europe and 1,267 people in Switzerland were asked about their usage behavior between the ages of 16 and 65 in late summer 2022.
