Although the video game industry’s growth was significant in 2020, by 2021, it is estimated that more than $ 120 billion will be spent on mobile gaming (up 20% from 2020). In the same year, users spent 296 billion hours playing mobile games, a 35% increase on 2019’s 222 billion hours. 36% of all mobile app downloads in 2020 were mobile games – that’s 80 billion downloads out of 218 billion overall.
In other words, for every dollar spent on iOS and Google Play, games took 70 cents.Īlthough the mobile platform for video games is barely a decade old, the growth is remarkable, and it doesn’t stop here.
