Logitech games revenue up by 6% year-on-year

Revenue from Logitech's games division rose by six per cent year-on-year for the 2019/20 fiscal year.

That's according to the company's financial report for the 12 months, which shows that the hardware company's games arm brought in $690,174 for the year, an increase on the $648,130 it made in the previous 12 months.

The most recent three months ending March 31st, gaming revenue was up by eight per cent, hitting $148,909.

Part of this success has been due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, which has seen people buying up equipment for working from home, as well as gaming. 

“We have delivered five consecutive years at or near double-digit growth, and Logitech’s products have never been more relevant,” president and CEO Bracken Darrell said.

“Video conferencing, working remotely, creating and streaming content, and gaming are long-term secular trends driving our business. The pandemic hasn’t changed these trends: it has accelerated them.”
