NEW YORK (Reuters) – The global video and gaming market will generate $ 152.1 billion in 2019, a 9.6 percent increase from last year, as game content and communication capabilities improve, according to a report by game analytics firm Newzoo.

The games on smartphones and tablets, as opposed to personal computer games and gaming devices, remain the largest platform, accounting for $ 68.5 billion, or 45% of the global market.
The new report, the ninth annual report, follows a survey of more than 62,500 people between February and March in 30 markets and other data sources.
The report excludes revenue from e-sports, or official professional video game competitions. According to Newso in February, world sports revenues will reach $ 1.1 billion this year.
