India enters top mobile gaming market!

India’s access to the free and fast internet had boosted the mobile app market in the country in 2017, and mobile gaming witnessed a huge increase in players. Some games have crossed over 10 million daily active users, while the monthly active user mark has crossed over 70 million!

According to reports, more than 222 million active gamers have been spending an average of 42 minutes playing mobile games every day, over five sessions in the country as of 2017. India now is one of the top five markets for mobile gaming in terms of the number of users!

According to experts, many gaming giants from Asia are looking forward to investment opportunities in India. The growth in India and Southeast Asia are happening at a time when big mobile gaming markets in the US and China are slowing down.

Even with this huge number of players, Indian users are still shy of spending on games. Less than 1% of daily active users do the in-app purchases in India, which led the game publishers to go for a freemium model.
