According to a report from Newzoo, mobile gaming has continued to flourish this year, making it one of the most important parts of the global gaming industry. In fact, the mobile gaming market makes up 52% of the global video game sector.
“We started the year thinking it would be impossible for the market to match 2020, as delays for AAA releases and ongoing supply shortages for new gaming hardware gave people little opportunity to spend,” said Tom Wijman, Newzoo’s head of reports and forecasting, in a statement. “Yet, nine months into 2021, we realized that the market would grow again. If anything, this shows that the games market is definitely no longer the seasonal, hit-driven business it once was. New gaming content no longer means new games or new hardware—a new season pass is just as likely to drive revenues.”
Despite the growth of mobile gaming, that was not the case for every part of the industry. PC gaming revenues decreased by 0.8% this year while console gaming revenues fell by 6.6%. In comparison, the mobile gaming market grew by 7.3% in 2021.
