Our take
International gaming gear manufacturers SteelSeries have been supplying the gaming community with accessories, peripherals, and software since 2001. Part of its ethos is reinvesting in the community, hosting gaming tournaments and promoting teams and players - but this mainly serves to bolster its substantial sector reputation, which makes it a key player in the market alongside industry giants like Nintendo, Nvidia, and Logitech.
SteelSeries was acquired in late 2021 by the Danish headset and hearing aid maker GN Store Nord, in a deal worth over £1 billion, which has helped fund major research and development on its products. The company has also made acquisitions, with high-end gaming product manufacturers KontrolFreek and Nahimic acquired in the same year, which will further expand the company’s scope and reputation for quality products.
This is part of a broader spate of acquisitions that have reshaped the gaming industry over the past couple of years, a period during which gaming revenue sharply increased. The global market is expected to pass $15 billion by 2026, and SteelSeries look set to score a substantial slice of this.
