arket Share and Regional Strengths Break Down

  • Asia-Pacific: Driven by large retail and entertainment development, scale deployments of activate games are common. Manufacturers like Pixelverse dominate in volume.
  • Europe: Market is slower in volume but higher in average spend; companies like Valo Motion capitalise on premium installations and certification-heavy environment.
  • North America: With strong existing entertainment infrastructure, upgrade projects dominate. LAI Games and similar providers benefit from upgrade cycles and corporate wellness tie-ins.

Thus, while Asia may see the fastest growth in units installed, Europe and North America often deliver higher-value projects per installation.


4. Key Differentiators Among Manufacturers

What sets top manufacturers apart in the activate games market?

  • Technology & Innovation: Sensor accuracy, LED responsiveness, content library depth and software upgrade capability.
  • Customization & Branding: Ability to tailor themes, colours, game modes and branding for venue-specific identity.
  • After-Sales Infrastructure: Spare parts availability, service network, software updates, remote monitoring.
  • Global Export Capability: Certifications (CE, UL, RoHS), shipping, installation, local compliance.
  • Scalability & Modularity: From one-wall systems to multi-zone arenas, venues want growth potential without replacing entire systems.

Manufacturers who can deliver all these elements tend to win the larger, more lucrative contracts.


5. What This Means for Venue Owners and Investors

For those selecting a supplier for their next activate games installation, consider these actionable insights:

  • Don’t just buy the cheapest system—equipment longevity, support and upgrade path matter.
  • Ask for reference installations in your region or similar venue type.
  • Check global compliance and export history—especially if you operate across borders.
  • Look for customization capability—your venue’s brand, audience and floor layout should shape the system.
  • Plan for the long term—select a manufacturer with a roadmap for new game content, analytics and expansion modules.

By choosing a top-tier manufacturer, you position your venue for better uptime, stronger guest satisfaction and higher ROI.


6. The Future Competitive Dynamics

Looking ahead, manufacturers of activate games will continue to compete on global reach, content ecosystem and service. Areas to watch:

  • Subscription-based content: Manufacturers offering ongoing game update services will build recurring revenue and stickiness.
  • Emerging markets: Regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America and Middle East will be key battlegrounds — scale-manufacturers will dominate here.
  • Hybrid use-cases: Gym, corporate wellness, education sectors adopting activate games will diversify demand beyond entertainment centers.
  • Branding & white-label partnerships: Venue-specific branding and local content will become increasingly valuable—manufacturers who offer flexible OEM/ODM will win.

In sum, the competitive landscape of activate games is becoming more professional, and choosing the right manufacturing partner is now a strategic business decision, not a procurement formality.
