Market Overview:
The global mechanical gaming keyboard market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for mechanical gaming keyboards from e-sports players and amateurs. In addition, the growing popularity of PC games is also contributing to the growth of this market. The global mechanical gaming keyboard market can be segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it can be divided into linear switches, tactile non-clicky switches, and clicky switches.
Product Definition:
A mechanical gaming keyboard is a type of keyboard that uses individual switches underneath each key. These switches can be either mechanical or electro-mechanical. Mechanical gaming keyboards usually offer a higher actuation force than other types of keyboards, which makes them ideal for gaming. They also offer better tactile feedback, which can help you to more accurately determine when you have actually pressed a key. This can be important in fast-paced games where every millisecond counts.
Linear Switches:
Linear switches are the most common type of mechanical gaming keyboard available in the market. They have a very fast actuation time (the time it takes to go from fully pressed down to fully released) and make a very crisp sound when activated. The faster they can be actuated, generally, the better for gamers.
Tactile Non-Clicky Switches:
Tactile non-clicky switches are a group of special keyboards that do not make any CLICKY noises. The most common type of these switches are found in computer keyboards, and they’re also used in some video game controllers. These tactile non-clicky (TNC) switches were created to reduce the amount of noise produced when pressing the keys on a keyboard.
Application Insights:
The professional gamers segment dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. Professional e-sports players require highly advanced and customized mechanical gaming keyboards to perform better during competitions. The professional e-sports players include League of Legends, Dota 2, Starcraft II players or athletes who participate at international level and demand high performance from their equipment.
The amateur segment is expected to be the fastest growing application over the forecast period owing to increasing participation rate across schools, colleges and universities as well as home users across countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and India. Amateurs use Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (MGGK) for casual gaming along with work & study activities which also includes text editing programs, internet surfers etc., The easy availability of affordable products has fueled its adoption among amateurs which consists mostly of millennials age group globally speaking.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of e-sports players and an increasing number of amateurs who are opting for gaming keyboards. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period, with a CAGR exceeding 6% from 2018 to 2030.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest growing regions during the forecast period owing to rising popularity for gaming among students and professionals alike. Furthermore, countries such as China and Japan have been hosting various video game tournaments which has led towards increased demand for high performance mechanical keyboards over this region.
