The global amusement machine market size was estimated at USD 16.50 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% from 2025 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to technological innovation and the increasing demand for immersive entertainment experiences. Advances in technology, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and interactive features, have transformed amusement machines, making them more engaging and appealing to tech-savvy consumers. Moreover, the growing desire for social, and immersive entertainment experiences has fueled demand for arcade-style gaming, particularly in family entertainment centers, malls, and mixed-use venues.

These technologies allow players to engage in highly dynamic and realistic virtual worlds, attracting a new generation of tech-savvy consumers. In addition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being leveraged to create adaptive gameplay, where machines can learn user behavior, personalize experiences, and improve game interactions in real time.

The integration of gamification into non-traditional spaces, such as restaurants, hotels, and shopping centers, where amusement machines are used to enhance social interaction and customer engagement, merging entertainment with daily activities.
