Prepare for our upcoming Dubai GameExpo Summit powered by Pocket Gamer Connects on May 1st and 2nd with exclusive news, interviews, and features from the MENA region as part of our ‘MENA Month’ special.
According to Newzoo, the Middle East and Africa region experienced the highest revenue growth for games in 2023, reaching $7.1 billion, a 4.1% increase year-over-year. This surge in revenue has sparked increased investments to foster talent and enhance the industry in various countries across the region.
We recently spoke with Sandsoft CEO David Fernandez Remesal about their expansion and the broader growth in the MENA region. Earlier in the year, we interviewed Savvy Games Group CEO Brian Ward, who shared insights into the company’s investments and plans, including earmarking $35 billion for industry mergers and acquisitions.
We’ve also compiled the latest statistics from the MENA region to provide a glimpse of the market size and identify the countries and studios leading the industry’s development.
Throughout this month, we will spotlight more companies in the Middle East and Africa, showcasing the innovative endeavors within the regional games industry.
