EEDAR, an NPD Group Company in the US, conducted a survey revealing that 67% of the total population, equivalent to 211.2 million gamers in the country, engage in gaming activities. With a consistent rise in the number of gamers each year and the continuous introduction of new games, the demand for mice is expected to escalate. Many PC games involve crucial actions such as slashing, attacking, hacking, and targeting, all of which necessitate precise mouse movements. For example, in games such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, mouse movements are integral for controlling characters. This surge in gamer numbers is anticipated to drive the growth of the mouse market.

For example, a July 2024 report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that in 2023, the total export value of computer and peripheral manufacturing was $48.8 billion, reflecting a 2.6 percent decline from 2022. Texas led the exports with $12.2 billion (24.9%), followed by California at $9.6 billion (19.7%) and Florida at $3.3 billion (6.8%), with the top six states accounting for 66.1 percent of total exports. Thus, the rising sales of personal computers are driving demand for the mouse market.
