According to the report #Africa #GamingMarket Size (2024–2029) by #MordorIntelligence, a consultancy and #MarketResearch firm, the video game market in Africa is estimated to be worth over USD 2.14 billion in 2024. This figure could reach USD 3.72 billion by 2029.

#VideoGames have strong appeal among #AfricanYouth — of the continent’s 1.6 billion inhabitants, over 400 million are between the ages of 15 and 35. #Gaming is not merely a pastime; it can also be a real profession, known as esports, which includes its own rules, tournaments, prize money, and international competitions, like the Olympics Esports Games set to be held in Saudi Arabia in 2025. To explore the significance of this industry, #GlobalVoices spoke with Kofi Sika Latzoo, a #Togolese expert based in #Senegal.
