GAMING & ESPORT

Founded in 2005 , gaming hardware and esports company Razer has ridden the wave of money introduced into the industry to become a tech unicorn . Goldman Sachs expects the esports market to be worth $ 3bn by 2022 ( up from $ 869mn in 2018 ), and Razer is a big name in the scene thanks to its gaming-oriented peripherals such as mice and keyboards . In recent years , it has branched out into other forms of hardware , including phones and laptops , targeted towards its key gaming demographic . JANUARY 2020
