DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Greater
Southeast Asia Mobile Games Report & Five Year Forecast”
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.

Southeast Asia’s mobile games market is booming, representing a
lucrative opportunity for mobile developers and publishers. Huge numbers
of avid gamers, lower user acquisition costs, the prevalence of the
English language, and a relatively open market for new entrants all make
the region very attractive. Improvements in internet infrastructure as
well as disposable income, coupled with demand for esports games,
tournaments, streaming, and more, have set the stage for continued
growth in the next 5 years.

However, each country’s different culture, gamer preferences, and
spending behaviors means there is no one size fits all approach to the
region. One particular differentiator with the West is the mobile app
distribution system, which is broader than just Google Play and the
Apple App Store. Further, while the regulatory landscape is more relaxed
than China, several countries have regulations that do impact strategy
for the region.

Key takeaways from the analysis:

• Macroeconomic drivers of games growth in GSEA are the increase in the
  number of internet users, growth in disposable income across the
  region, and improvements in the internet infrastructure, as well as
  widespread 4G networks soon to be updated to 5G. These along with the
  support of governments lead to a prime growth environment in the
  region.
• With the growth in income we have seen a shift from low spend games to
  high spend games, and demand for hardcore and esports games that
  typically require higher spending than casual games.
• The mobile games market in GSEA is now comfortably larger than the PC
  games market and the gap will continue to widen as more mobile gamers
  enter the market.
• Esports is the #1 driver for growth in the region and is helping to
  build other industries as well, even tourism. Gamers are motivated by
  competition and completion, according to the segmentation analysis,
  which supports the demand for esports.
• Combined PC online and mobile games revenue is projected to grow from
  $4.4 billion in 2018 to $7.5 billion in 2022.
• The number of gamers in the region is projected to grow from 244
  million in 2018 to 309 million in 2022.
• Total mobile game revenue is set to reach $2.36 billion in 2018.
