Globally, the gaming market was valued at around US$272.86 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand to US$426 billion by 2029, driven by advances in gaming technology, the growing popularity of e-sports, and the expansion of mobile gaming.
Thailand’s gaming industry, meanwhile, was valued at 34.28 billion baht (approximately US$979.66 million) in 2023, accounting for 77.5% of the overall digital content industry.
For the first time, Thailand will host Asia’s largest gaming exhibition, ‘Gamescom Asia × Thailand Game Show 2025,’ from October 16–19 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre in Bangkok. Covering over 30,000 square metres, the event is expected to attract more than 200,000 visitors.
The exhibition will feature both B2C (Entertainment Area) and B2B (Business Area) zones, alongside a wide range of activities including high-energy e-sports tournaments, an indie game showcase, cosplay events, and other entertainment, welcoming participants from across Asia and beyond.
