Freemium Games Market Size Observe Significant Surge During 2018-2024

Considering the outcome, the uses and business models in this industry have also changed, through the effect of disintermediation, changes in the pricing structure, and deflated production costs. From the supplier perspective freemium games is one of the preferred routes, as it holds the majority of download volume. The dynamic nature of gaming industry has also brought significant change to the consumer mind sets, while the game developers are compelled to update themselves. The game developers not operating upon the freemium model have suffered loss of their market share, in the recent years.

The freemium games developer earns a large part of their revenue from advertisements, in app purchase and virtual item sale. The majority of revenue comes from app purchase, which accounts for 70% to 80% of the total revenue of the industry. The virtual item sale (also referred to as micro transaction) is other important revenue generating model in the freemium game market, which allows consumers to play basic version of the game at no cost, but pay for the advanced part, or buy some game related virtual items, which is part of the game itself.

The increasing affordability of smart phones, along with the growing internet penetration accounts for the major drivers, of the freemium game market. The availability of open mobile platform, such as Android “Play Store” is providing significant market opportunity for small and medium size freemium game developers. Moreover, the freemium model is very much suited for the startup game developers, as the cost to market can be saved. On the other hand, issues such as data privacy and graphical interference limitation of mobile devices, remains major roadblock for the market expansion.
