Product Definition:
Social gaming is a type of online game that encourages players to interact with each other. These games can take many different forms, including multiplayer games, casino-style games, and word or puzzle games. Social gaming is important because it allows people to connect with each other and have fun while doing so. It can also help promote teamwork and cooperation skills.
Voice Social Gaming:
Voice social gaming is a new term in the Social Gaming industry. It's basically about using voice as an input mechanism for games. Voice can be used for various purposes such as to interact with characters, to solve puzzles, and even just for fun. In many ways it's similar to how text works in traditional gaming but with more flexibility and creativity since speech acts can trigger game events rather than simply providing information or commands.
Video Social Gaming:
Video social gaming is a new term used for online video games that are played through the use of live streaming on the internet. These games are usually played by a group of people in one location and broadcasted over the internet to another location where other players can interact with them. The main objective behind video social gaming is to increase awareness about the product/ service being advertised, as it allows users to experience what they are selling before buying.
Application Insights:
The male application segment dominated the global social gaming market, accounting for 54.5% share of the total revenue in 2017. The growth of this segment can be attributed to increasing usage of smartphones and tablets globally, which has led to a significant increase in mobile gaming population across the globe. According to eMarketer's estimates, there are over 575 million gamers worldwide who spend around USD 2,000 per year on average on mobile games and that number is expected to reach 744 million by 2021.
Moreover, majority of social game players are males aged between 18-24 years old as compared with female players who make up a smaller demographic among all age groups globally owing to different interests and spending capacities among females globally as compared with males.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing smartphone penetration and rising adoption of social networking sites in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India. In addition, increasing investments by companies for developing gaming apps will drive the industry growth further. For instance, in September 2016 it was announced that Tencent Holdings Limited., a Chinese Internet company had invested USD X million for acquiring shares of Riot Games Inc., an American provider of League of Legends game content and services.
North America is estimated to account for a significant share owing to presence of major technology companies such as Google LLC; Apple Inc.; Microsoft Corporation; International Business Machines Corporation; Facebook Inc.; Twitter Inc.; Amazon Web Services LLC; among others which are actively involved in developing innovative technologies pertaining towards gaming sector.
