According to this, sales across all segments rose to €2.41 billion. This represents an increase of just under 3% compared to the previous year. An analysis of the submarkets reveals similar developments in Spain to those in other key European markets. The hardware business is declining in terms of both unit sales and revenue. According to AEVI, just over 900,000 consoles were sold in Spain in 2024, 19% less than in the previous year. They generated sales of €361 million, almost €100 million less than in 2023.

Including mobile, turnover last year amounted to €1.79 billion. In 2023, the figure was €1.64 billion. This figure does not include revenue from subscription services, which rose from €79 million in 2023 to €102 million last year. Last but not least, the accessories business remained stable. Revenue in 2024 was €155 million, just €4 million less than in the previous year. The yearbook also reveals an interesting development in player profiles. The number of players in Spain rose from 20.05 million in the previous year to 22.1 million. For the first time, the proportion of female players exceeded that of male players, although the ratio is very close at 50.5% to 49.5%.

"In 2024, growth is slower than in previous years, although the figures indicate that we are facing an increasingly established and broad industry with more players of different ages," says José María Moreno, director general de AEVI.

Politicians are also satisfied with the development. "In this regard, the Ministry of Culture is committed to making its data and forecasts a reality in constant progress. Proof of this commitment can be seen in the support lines for the video game sector and other forms of digital creation, which celebrated their fourth edition in 2025, with a total budget of 5 million euros, financed with EU Next-Generation funds, which have supported the development of 35 video games, in addition to the 288 projects that have already benefited from previous editions," says Pilar Alegría, Minister of Education, Vocational Training and Sport, Pilar Alegría.
