| Mobile Gaming in India, 2004-2009 |
 |
Mobile gaming is a rising star in India’s
fast-growing wireless business. Gaming is a key element in operators’
and content developers’ strategies to develop new, high-value wireless
revenue streams, beyond basic voice services and simple text messaging.
Propelled by end-user demand, gaming is growing quickly as an increasing
number of Indian consumers take advantage of wireless mobility to
enjoy entertainment on the go.
The growth of this market sector has attracted publishers, developers,
animators, musicians, and content providers, and is also stimulating
the development of innovative business models. In-Stat/MDR expects
that the Indian mobile gaming market will generate $26 million (US$)
in revenue in 2004, and will increase to $336 million in annual revenue
by 2009.
