Mobile Gaming Revenue Facts and Stats

The landscape of the mobile gaming industry is steadily increasing, bringing innovations in terms of new games and platforms. After some time, these games make their way to the AppStore, Google Play and Windows Store. Even classic PC games merge into mobile phones and tablets. What is important, they bask in popularity and drive billions of dollars to Android and iPhone app development companies and game providers.

According to estimates, the total revenue from mobile gaming in the USA will escalate, making up to 3.77 billion dollars. Just to compare, in 2012 mobile gaming has brought over 1.36 billion dollars to US game developers. The USA has taken the first place by the total revenue and outstripped China, Japan and Germany.  It is estimated that almost 60% Americans play mobile games several times a day, whereas less than 10% players access games once a week.   

When we turn to global statistics of mobile players, the overall revenue from mobile gaming increased from 7.84 billion to 9.34 billion US dollars. The most part of the revenue is driven by game downloads on Apple’s Store and Google Market. In China, for instance, the majority of revenue from mobile gaming is generated from local Android stores. The US consumers rely on iOS mobile games, which has raised the popularity of iPhone app development services. Such countries as the Netherlands, Turkey and Spain get the least revenue from the gaming market. However, they show a steady growth in revenues of 10-20%.    

The most notable aspect in the growing iPhone popularity is a non-stop battle between Japan and the USA. As of 2013, the leadership during the first half of the year was taken by US consumers – by the end of the year Japan overtook the position by the total revenue from mobile gaming.
