Niko estimates Chinese mobile gamers to reach 192 million in 2012 Mobile gamers surpass the number of PC online gamers, mobile games revenue surges.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - July 5, 2012 - Niko Partners, the leader in Asian Games Market Intelligence™, today announced the availability of a new report called China's Mobile Games Market 2012 with analysis of mobile games usage, hardware adoption, mobile gaming behavior, and the Chinese mobile games market size and 5-year forecast. The analysis includes a forecast calling for mobile games revenue to realize a six-fold increase from the 2011 market of $600 million in the next 5 years. Niko's report pieces together the fragmented mobile games market, and sheds light on the behavior of mobile gamers based on two widespread surveys conducted by the firm in recent months.
"Niko projects fast growth in mobile games revenue in China led by rising adoption of 3G usage, soaring sales of smartphones from a wide array of vendors, and the desire to play entertaining, inexpensive games on these smart mobile devices," said Lisa Cosmas Hanson, managing partner of Niko Partners. "Mobile games and web-browser games are the two buzzword segments in China's games market this year, and Chinese game companies are racing to deliver their games on multiple platforms to satisfy gamer demand in every way possible."
Key takeaways from Niko's China's Mobile Games Market report include:
·China's mobile games market is wide open currently with no clear market leader that has dominant market share yet.
·As in the rest of the world mobile social games are very popular in China while mobile hard-core games are just getting started but showing promise for success.
·Many Chinese mobile users have more than one mobile phone but conduct most of their gaming on only one of them.
