Gaming Leads the Next Phase of IP Commercialization
Gaming monetization is expected to lead the Intellectual Property (IP) economy market share in 2025. Gaming continues to create stronger and more consistent revenue opportunities from IP assets. Unlike traditional IP models that rely on one-time licensing, gaming IP creates continuous revenue opportunities. Characters, skins, virtual goods, storylines, and digital environments are monetized through in-game purchases, subscriptions, microtransactions, battle passes, and live-service platforms. High user engagement and repeat spending continue to strengthen the value of gaming IP, while the growth of mobile gaming, free-to-play ecosystems, and cross-platform experiences is widening monetization opportunities, particularly across Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

Digital Platforms are Turning IP into Scalable Revenue
Copyrights Dominate the IP economy market share by a significant margin of 29%.
The copyrights segment leads the global IP economy with ~29% market share, as digital content becomes a core revenue driver across industries. Growth is being shaped by the scale of platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify, where monetization is continuous, not one-time, through subscriptions, ads, and royalties. Unlike patents and trademarks, copyrights enable faster monetization cycles and recurring revenue at scale. The key shift is that IP value is now driven by distribution and engagement, not just ownership, positioning copyrights as the most commercially scalable segment in the IP economy.
Competition in the IP Economy Is Shifting from Ownership to Monetization
The global intellectual property (IP) economy is becoming increasingly competitive, as value shifts from ownership to effective monetization and distribution. Market participants are no longer focused solely on holding IP assets, but on their ability to scale, commercialize, and generate recurring revenue across digital ecosystems. Companies such as Netflix, Disney, and Microsoft reflect this transition toward platform-driven models, where IP is continuously monetized through subscriptions, licensing, and integrated digital channels. As a result, reach, engagement, and ecosystem control are becoming key drivers of IP value, reshaping competition across global markets.
