Mobile games are becoming much more popular throughout China

Mobile games are exploding in China. The country is now home to one of the largest mobile markets in the world, largely due to the increase smartphone penetration and the expansion of mobile networks throughout the country. Niko Partners, a leading research firm, has released its latest report concerning the growth of mobile gaming in China. According to the report, China is on track to outpace the United States when it comes to mobile gaming revenue.

Mobile gaming revenue in China to hit $5.5 billion by the end of this year

The report shows that China’s mobile gaming revenue will reach $5.5 billion by the end of this year. This represents a 66% increase over the revenue that was reported in 2014. Global mobile gaming revenue is expected to be approximately $30 billion, with China accounting for a significant portion of that revenue as its gaming space begins to expand. By the end of this year, China is expected to be home to more than 420 million gamers that use their mobile devices to play the games they like.

The US is beginning to fall behind when it comes to mobile games

The United States has been one of the countries leading the way in mobile gaming revenue for several years. Now, however, China is beginning to outpace the country, largely due to the number of mobile games that have been released in the country. The Chinese gaming market is currently dominated by Tencent, which owns the massively popular WeChat application. Other companies have found success in the market as well, where consumers are showing favor for playing convenient games while commuting.

China’s mobile gaming revenue to hit $11.1 billion by 2019

According to the report from Niko Partners, China’s mobile gaming revenue is expected to swell to $11.1 billion by 2019. As developers bring more games to the country and mobile networks continue to expand, more consumers are expected to spend money on these games. Consumers have shown that they are very willing to spend money on mobile games they enjoy, though doing so has been considered a controversial practice in other parts of the world.

While the market in the country is currently about half that of the United States, its growth rate is tremendous.

There is no doubt that mobile gaming is huge in China, despite the fact that it represents only a fraction of its complete video games market, and the fact that it is only about half of the size of the American market.

What makes the difference is the very rapid growth rate that the Chinese mobile games market is experiencing.

Mobile gaming is far lower, per capita, in the Chinese market than in the U.S. but the potential is only just starting to be tapped and the gap is about to close exceptionally rapidly. Currently, it is estimate that the market there is at around $9.7 billion (60 billion yuan). It has been consoles and, to a much greater extent, PC games that have been leading the way in terms of revenue in the country. However, the prediction now is that when compared to mobile devices, PC games may be about to lose their top position. This doesn’t necessarily mean that PC has no future, but it instead means that there is a great deal more room to grow in mobile.

Mobile gaming is accessible to a far larger number of people that haven’t tapped into it yet, in China.

The lead held by PC games remains a very sizeable one, but the situation has shown that growth is starting to slow, simply because it is starting to reach a level of saturation. Those who have PCs and who will use them for gaming are already doing so, to a large extent. What makes the mobile games environment have such potential to take the lead is that there are far more smartphone users than computer owners in the country, and they are now starting to get into these apps with a vengeance.

The growth in mobile gaming has been an amazing 400 percent, from having been 2.5 billion yuan a couple of years ago, to 125.2 billion yuan, last year. With an estimated three times more smartphone and tablet based gamers than there are on PCs, that shows that there is still quite a distance for mobile to go before it has reached its maturity.
