The video game industry in the Czech Republic

At present, 76 companies specializing in video game design operate in the Czech Republic. A distinctive feature of the Czech market is the strong presence of domestic companies. Only 7 percent of the companies active in game design in this country are subsidiaries of international companies.

The games industry is considered the main driving force of the digital economy, and digital distribution has a larger share of the market than traditional distribution.

The video game business is a sub-branch of the cultural and creative industries, and art combined with technology adds greater value to the final product. Average growth in this sector from 2015 to 2017 reached a rate of 15 percent.

In 2018, the number of game designers was approximately 1,500, and more than 60 percent of game companies wanted to hire more employees. Game studios in the Czech Republic keep pace with leading countries, and video games are considered one of the Czech Republic's important export products. Despite weak government support for this sector, the Czech Republic's video games have brought the country fame.

For development and progress, this industry needs government backing and support, and the government is obliged to carry out the necessary reviews and meet this sector's needs.
