The report explains our analysis of where those opportunities will come from, which segments are hot now and growing, and what the impact on the games industry will be.

China's PC games market is the largest in the world and deserves the attention of games companies worldwide. For PC hardware and components makers, China's games and esports market is a significant opportunity for computers, chips and accessories, peripherals, and equipment, both for home use and in the country's internet cafes.

Key takeaways from the analysis:
