A recent report published by IMARC Group has shed light on the remarkable growth of the global gaming market, which surged to a value of US$ 118.7 billion in 2019. Projections indicate that this dynamic industry is on track to expand further, with an anticipated value of US$ 204.6 billion by 2020-2025.
India has emerged as a compelling contender in the rapidly evolving gaming industry. This ascent can be attributed to India’s demonstrated prowess in both technical and creative skill sets, as well as a wealth of professional expertise that readily meets international game development requirements. What further propels India into the limelight is its cost-competitive advantage in delivering these services. Furthermore, the proficiency of India’s youth in the English language fosters seamless communication, placing the country at a strategic advantage in the global competition.

Given these promising prospects, it is hardly surprising that an increasing number of young individuals in India now recognize Game Development as a legitimate and potentially lucrative career path. The industry offers abundant opportunities for professional growth, making it an attractive choice for aspiring game developers.

In the context of this burgeoning sector, it’s worth noting the significant impact of ADYPU’s Game Art and Design course.
