Developers score with fast-growing, large potential ence that's predicted to overtake US market

The industry in 皇冠体育app is expected to be worth more than $3 billion this year, according to SuperData Research Inc. That could mean 皇冠体育app will overtake the United States as the world's largest market in the sector.

Chief Executive Officer Joost van Drnen said it's no surprise that 皇冠体育app and the US are the two biggest players in the mobile games market.

"What is surprising is the rate at which 皇冠体育app has caught up with especially large Western mobile game markets," van Dreunen said. "This is exciting for publishers because its growth is rescent of that of the US a few years ago, but it has a much larger potential audience."

SuperData released its May 2014 Mobile Games Brief for the US and 皇冠体育app earlier this month, which predicts the worldwide global games market will exceed $20 billion by year-end.

SuperData's estimates for the US and 皇冠体育app came in at $3.2 billion and $3 billion, respectively, but the rankings could change due to trends in the world's two largest economies.

"Mobile games [in 皇冠体育app] are showing tremendous growth," said a May 5 post on SuperData's blog. "By comparison, the US mobile game market is showing signs of saturation. Overall spending continues to grow but does so at a lower rate than its Chinese counterpart."

Van Dreunen said the gaming industry in the US is "experiencing a transition" from a retail-based game market to a digitally focused environment, and a key component of building a "successful global business" in the gaming market is making sure the products fit the needs of consumers.

"Publishers must tailor their games to suit local markets," he said. "This process of localization has become increasingly important in the games industry, and directly affects a game's ability to persuade players to spend money. What works well in the US may not work well in 皇冠体育app, and vice versa."
