mainstream media, with nett earnings even surpassing that of the film industry.

The worldwide video game marketplace, which includes video game console hardware and software, online, mobile and PC games, reached $93 billion in 2013, up from $79 billion in 2012, according to Gartner, Inc.

Driven by strong mobile gaming and video game console and software sales, the market is forecast to reach $111 billion by 2015.

Mobile games are the fastest-growing segment of the market, with revenue set to nearly double between 2013 and 2015 from $13.2 billion to $22 billion.

"As mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) continue to grow, the mobile game category will show the biggest growth due to the entertainment value provided by games compared with other app categories," said Brian Blau, research director at Gartner.

"This growth is fueled by healthy premium mobile device sales globally and a desire by consumers to play games on these multifunction devices that are capable of displaying increasingly sophisticated game content."

According to PWC, Mobile is delivering a new generation of gamers.Global mobile games revenue is forecast to reach US$15bn in 2018, rising at a CAGR of 9.6%. China, Japan and the US are key markets.

Only advertising revenue, which is still relatively small, will grow at a faster rate within the video games segment. Rising smartphone ownership is increasing access to mobile games globally and has enabled innovation in gameplay and business models.

However, production values are very high and costs of development are rising partly due to heavy demand, lack of specialized and qualified skilled workers, and the pressure to deliver more within an increasingly shorter amount of time.

Hence, there is a need for people who are trained and competent in the workflow of Game Development with very specialized fields of study.

Games technology covers a wide area that includes simulation, programming and adventure features for use in areas such as entertainment, gaming and multimedia.

If you're looking for a career that combines creativity and technical IT skills, then this course is perfect for you, as you will be able to explore games as both a technical and an entertainment medium.

The Industry is growing at an incredible rate and shows no sign of ever slowing down. Almost everyone plays games in some form.

Computer Games Industry Growth in Malaysia

I had wanted to go to another university near my house for IT after my A-Levels. After consulting EduSpiral, I realised that I should choose the best university for IT so that I can gain the necessary knowledge and skills for a successful career in this competitive field.
Kah Jun, Software Engineering at APU

Malaysia has about 700 people currently employed in the games industry, a figure that is hoped to grow considerably in the coming years. Moreover, the country is home to companies that produce a sizeable amount of content.

The video games market in Malaysia is poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% between 2011 and 2015.

Growth will be supported by the growing spending on game applications, especially social and mobile gaming, which will be four times more than spending on music.

According to industry observers, the platform has undergone a lot of growth that there is tremendous opportunity in the mobile and social game monetisation space.

The International Game Developers Association (IGDA), Malaysia, lists up to 48 game companies, 10 of which engage in co-production with foreign partners. Employment is on-going both for the technically-inclined as well as for those in design, marketing and business backgrounds.
