1° Censimento dei Game Developer italiani

The first census of Italian game developers, conducted by the ASK Center of Bocconi University on behalf of AESVI, provides a comprehensive analysis of the domestic video game production sector.

  • The Italian game development sector is highly fragmented and early-stage, with 62% of firms established within the last three years and 52% operating as individual enterprises.
  • Financial growth is constrained by a 90% reliance on self-financing, preventing most companies from scaling beyond their current small-scale operations.
  • To maintain financial sustainability, 65% of developers supplement consumer-facing game production with B2B services like marketing, communication, and training software.
