Several educational institutions have increased their game-based learning techniques in response to the growing demand for high-quality education with an advanced and interactive approach. Furthermore, the adoption of tablet and e-learning methodologies in schools worldwide has boosted the global game-based learning market.
Further, the industry is projected to expand in the coming years as the global population of internet and smartphone users grows. According to the International Telecommunications Union 2020 data, approximately 72% of urban households had access to the Internet at home in 2019, almost double as many as the rural population (nearly 38%). The urban-rural divide was small in developed countries, but urban Internet connectivity was 2.3 times greater than rural access in developing countries.
Rising internet penetration is considered a substantial impact on the game-based learning market in the coming years. The growing number of smartphone users is expected to play an essential role in the overall game-based learning market growth in the coming years.
In addition, urbanization is expected to play a significant role in the coming years. according to the World Bank, approximately 68 % population is projected to live in urban areas by 2050, up from an estimated 55 percent in 2019. Better income and employment outlook, modernization, and the adoption of novel and advanced technologies benefit urbanization. Thus, the rising internet penetration, increasing smartphone users' adoption of e-learning, and growing urbanization drive game-based learning market growth during the forecast period.
However, the requirement for high security and information security from game-based learning restricts industry growth during the forecast period. There has been a significant increase in data breaches and cyberattacks in recent years. The lack of well-controlled, massive efficacy studies has slowed the general acceptance of game-based knowledge as a new knowledge framework.
Growth Drivers
Rising demand for training, presentation, and meetings among corporates and education institutes will propel market growth. For instance, in February 2022, Imarticus knowledge acquired StratOnboard.

Interactive challenges, automatically generated feedback, competition and socialization, and reward redemption are all illustrations of game-based knowledge concepts. Meetings, training, and conferences on employee engagement, knowledge and development, talent acquisition, and consumer engagement are organized by businesses.
Some explanations of presentation games include the Idea Box Game, The Talking Stick Game, and the Telephone Game. These games are designed for brainstorming sessions where employees can share their thoughts on a project or product. Companies create meeting pulses that are integrated with PowerPoints so that learners can play the game with a single answer opinion polls feature and see the results in a PowerPoint presentation. Game-based knowledge consumes 40% to 60% less employment time than traditional knowledge.
