Key growth drivers for the Indian Gaming Industry are identified as under:
- Increased Outsourcing: Similar to Animation, Gaming players overseas are increasingly focusing on cost reduction leading to greater outsourcing.
- Increased share for Indian players: Indian players currently command only ~1% of the outsourcing market. As the skill-sets of the Indian players improve, this share is expected to go up.
- Increased demand for Gaming (Global & Domestic): Globally, gaming is expected to continue its growth especially with the trend of Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games (MMORG) picking up. This is expected to lead to more development, testing and porting work for Indian players. Gaming, especially mobile gaming in India is expected to go up on account of increasing mobile and internet penetration coupled with increased affordability due to falling prices of games.
