Consumer spending in the US for PC gaming hardware and accessories reached $4.5 billion in 2020.
That's a 62% increase compared to 2019, and more than double the total sales of 2017, NPD said in its latest report.
Digital PC games content also grew 19% in 2020, reaching $7.5 billion in revenue. PC gaming accessories overall grew 81% year-on-year, while hardware grew 57%.
All categories of gaming hardware and accessories encountered double-digital growth, NPD continued, with a particular boom for headsets, monitors and keyboards, likely driven by the working-from-home shift due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
