According to the latest report, PC gaming hardware industry will be worth US $30 billion by 2018.

According to the latest report from Jon Peddie Research group, the PC gaming hardware market will steadily grow over the next few years and is expected to reach US $30 billion by 2018.

Bear in mind that the report focuses solely on the PC gaming "hardware" market and not the PC gaming market in general. According to the report, the enthusiast market currently holds over 40 percent of the PC gaming hardware market, with performance trailing in with 31 percent and mainstream with 26 percent.

While TV-optimized PCs, like Steam Machines could challenge the mainstream gaming notebook and desktop market, the enthusiast and performance markets should not be affected.

According to JPR, the future of PC gaming is quite bright and with the introduction of VR gaming, which also focuses on high-end gaming rigs, next year will be quite interesting.
