2012 SOUTHEAST ASIAN ONLINE GAMES MARKET REVENUE WILL
REACH $560 MILLION
Client-based MMOGs fuel growth among fast-growing SEA gamer population
SAN JOSE, Calif. - November 30, 2012 - Niko Partners, the Leader in Asian Video Game Market Intelligence™, today announced the availability of its 2012 Southeast Asian Game Market Regional Report covering the dynamic regional market that includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Collectively these countries will experience a compound annual growth rate of 17.4% in the years 2011-2016.
For each country Niko provides a list of the leading online game operators and games, important cultural nuances, the country's revenue, and key metrics and our analysis and forecast. The report includes analysis of surveys of more than 13,000 gamers across six countries, revealing gaming behavior and trends.
"A big surprise to us is that social games have been losing momentum in all Southeast Asian countries this year except for Indonesia," said Lisa Cosmas Hanson, managing partner of Niko Partners. "We had
anticipated stronger growth for social games but in fact, gamers in Southeast Asia prefer free-to-play client-based MMO games as well as casual games."
Key takeaways from the report include:
* By 2016, there will be 117 million gamers throughout these six Asian emerging markets, generating more than $1 billion in revenue.
* Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are closely connected gaming markets while Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam are more divergent. The report presents the similarities and differences
among the countries.
* Niko forecasts that the Philippines will have the fastest growth in revenue and Indonesia will have the fastest growth in online gamers in our 5-year forecast period.
The 74-page report, including 100 data exhibits, is available now at:
