Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Gamification involves the use of gaming mechanics and principles in the field of learning. There is an increased interest from the Corporate sectors in adopting games in the learning process. These provide learners with interactive media, animated videos, competition among colleagues, and, most importantly, learning scenarios. Gamification helps users improve their problem solving and negotiation skills, analytical skills, strategic thinking, attention, cognition, teamwork, and creativity. Also, games increase learner engagement and readers apply these acquired skills in their job instantly. Further, this trend is responsible for maintaining the attrition level in companies since it engages the employees and makes learning more interesting. This has led to an increase in the purchase of virtual currency among corporates that are using it to upgrade levels and purchase other add-ons. Some of the popular games include Math Blaster, Candy Crush Saga, FarmVille, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, Oregon Trail, Jeopardy, and many more. The increasing adoption of gamification is a new trend that is expected to have a positive impact on the market during the forecast period.
