Key Gaming Peripheral Points for 2022

As we continue into 2022, the game peripheral market has experienced several changes, the biggest being no longer under the influence of the pandemic. If you’re considering moving into this quickly growing market, the following 3 points will help you understand the buyer and market opportunity.

Point 1: Entry-level

The number of PC/console game players and video game streamers has increased dramatically during the pandemic and continues to grow rapidly today. Accenture Report, a well-known research firm, forecasts that there will be nearly 400 million new gamers in 2023. As a result, the demand for gaming peripherals and accessories will not only come from hardware enthusiasts but will be added to by these new novice gamers looking to purchase entry-level gaming essential products.

Due to this mix of new and veteran gamers, many brands are launching new gaming peripherals and accessory items that are essential to gaming, that work well, economically priced, and include items such as desks, chairs, mouse, keyboards, and other items.  

Point 2: Aesthetics 

One common element you’ll find between veteran and novice gamers is they all want their gaming environment to reflect their lifestyle. The ambiance of the gaming room will enhance the gaming experience and impress any guests that come to observe or play. Atmosphere and mood are still the key elements even after focusing on computer gaming hardware. A variety of neon and ambient lighting is now available, along with display shelving, customized mousepads and more that all add to creating a gaming atmosphere.

Upgrading to a monitor arm is also a popular choice, not just for show, but to make the view while gaming easier on the eyes from the adjustable height and positioning features that a monitor arm has. Gamers can also choose from a variety of colors and styles. Resellers offering a selection of products will encourage gaming customers to design a customized environment that meets their every need.

Point 3: Comfort

Lastly, a growing concern among gamers is the product’s comfort level. With people spending 10 or more hours a day in front of a computer, the comfort factor of computer accessories and peripherals become exceedingly important. This makes ergonomic design a key element in the development of gaming peripherals.  Gaming desks, chairs, risers and more now use the science of ergonomics to reduce player fatigue when using the computer.

As we enter this new gaming peripheral era and as the number of gamers expands, we can look forward to exciting new products and business opportunities to increase for the reseller in the future.

If you’re looking for a growing market niche for your business, one that is anticipated to increase and grow over the next few years, gaming accessories and peripheral products are the markets for you.
