The growth and potential of MENA
The MENA region continues to be the fastest-growing market in games, and Jordan is a fantastic entry point to it. With a young, well-educated population and welcoming tourist culture, as well as proximity to other territories in the region, along with significant government investment, Jordan is the perfect place to take your first steps in MENA.
According to a report by the Market Studies Unit of the Information and Communications Technology Association of Jordan (Intaj), total spending on digital games in Jordan reached $82.5 million in 2023. A total of $6.6 million was spent on in-game advertising, with mobile games dominating at $45 million and online games contributing $6.5 million.
The MENA-3 (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt) video games market is set to grow 8.2% in 2024 to $2.1 billion in revenue, according to Niko Partners. It’s forecast to reach $2.9 billion by 2028.
This is in line with Newzoo’s latest Games Report and Forecast. The MENA region overall experienced a 4.7% increase in revenue year-over-year to $7.1 billion in 2023, representing 4.7% of global games revenue.
