Market Update | December 2025


As the global entertainment and retail sectors prepare for the 2026 fiscal year, savvy operators are looking for ways to maximize their Q1 budget. The current trend in Family Entertainment Centers (FECs) and shopping malls is a pivot toward high-tech immersion and automated retail.


Leading manufacturer Skyfun has just announced its comprehensive Christmas & 2026 Year-End Event, offering significant capital expenditure incentives for business owners. If you have been waiting to add VR attractions or automated kiosks to your venue, the financial barrier to entry has just been lowered significantly.


Here is a breakdown of the strategic opportunities available this December.

In the U.S., there is a growing emphasis on location-based VR experiences, with more VR arcades and entertainment centers opening across major cities. These venues provide players with access to high-end VR setups that may not be feasible for home use, and they drive interest in immersive gaming. Additionally, the rise of cross-platform gaming is enabling players to connect and compete regardless of their chosen device, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
