According to the NewZoo’s global game market report 2020, during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the total revenue of the global game industry in 2020 still reached US$159.3 billion, up 9 percent compared to 2019, of which half comes from mobile games. This shows an optimistic sign because other sectors are declining due to the heavy impact from the pandemic.
Asia is the largest gaming market, accounting for nearly half of total revenue by region, and is among the fastest growing regions alongside Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. According to recent positive data, the game market in Vietnam is of great potential. The local market has made many breakthroughs in the world market.

During the Think Games Vietnam events, Google also announced two programs including Gaming Growth Lab and GameCamp Vietnam, in order to create a “launching pad” to promote the Southeast Asian country’s game industry to make great strides. Gaming Growth Lab is a 3-month training and education program for 30 selected potential game companies. Over the course of 12 weeks, selected companies will receive extensive theoretical and practical training with industry-leading examples of success.
