Population size, disposable income and penetration of smartphones and other gaming devices mean it\u2019s a fairly simple formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And so these are the markets advertising dollars flow towards when media buyers look to reach lucrative and sizable gaming audiences. These audiences are increasingly found on mobile devices: in fact, 2.8 billion of the world\u2019s 3 billion gamers this year will play on a mobile device and mobile games generate more than half the total global value of gaming. As \u2018mobile advertising\u2019 and \u2018mobile <em>games <\/em>advertising\u2019 increasingly become a distinction without a difference, it&#8217;s clear that this opportunity is comparable to the early days of social media as a media channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news for media buyers and brands is that even in mature markets in North America, Western Europe and Asia-Pacific, the adoption of programmatic gaming inventory by non-gaming brands is still low enough to make it a huge opportunity. But to really make the most of gaming as the new media channel, advertisers need to get ahead of the game by starting to broaden the scope of their media plans now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- shortcode [asyncjs] -->\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler) {\n                (function () {\n                    var s = document.createElement(\"script\");\n                    s.async = true;\n                    s.type = \"text\/javascript\";\n                    s.src = 'https:\/\/servedbyadbutler.com\/app.js';\n                    var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\n                    n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);\n                }());\n            }<\/script>\n        <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            var AdButler = AdButler || {};\n            AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\n            var abkw = window.abkw || '';\n            var plc428354 = window.plc428354 || 0;\n            document.write('<' + 'div id=\"placement_428354_' + plc428354+ '\"><\/' + 'div>');\n            AdButler.ads.push({\n                handler: function (opt) {\n                    AdButler.register(167788,428354, [300,250], 'placement_428354_' + opt.place, opt);\n                },\n                opt: {\n                    place: plc428354++,\n                    keywords: abkw ,\n                    domain: 'servedbyadbutler.com'\n                }\n            });\n        <\/script>\n        \n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emerging mobile gaming markets<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile gaming is on an inexorable rise across the globe, making in-play advertising &#8211; non-intrusive ads shown within gameplay &#8211; a huge growth segment even in established markets. However, the growth rates in emerging markets easily eclipse those of their more mature counterparts. It\u2019s clear that advertisers must pay more than lip service to emerging gaming economies in order to reach vast, mobile-first and increasingly lucrative consumer audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s look at the number of smartphone users by market. Only four of the top 10 countries for games revenues feature in the <a href=\"https:\/\/newzoo.com\/insights\/rankings\/top-countries-by-smartphone-penetration-and-users\/\" aria-label=\"top 10 in terms of millions of smartphone users, read on new zoo\">top 10 in terms of millions of smartphone users<\/a>. So what, I hear you say? This is down to comparatively large populations, but the audience is less lucrative per capita. While this may be true right now, today, let\u2019s look at our simple formula of population, spending power and smartphone penetration again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n \t<li><strong><em>Population size: <\/em><\/strong>Not only are populations of markets such as India far larger than developed economies, they&rsquo;re also growing at a rate many times higher than western markets, many of which such as Italy and Russia are also experiencing drastic population decline.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong><em>Smartphone penetration:<\/em> <\/strong>31.8% in India. 58.6% in Indonesia. 51.4% in Brazil. 54.4% in Mexico. Not only are these countries already in the top 10 for smartphone users, but they have far higher potential for growth than more static developed economies.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong><em>Disposable income:<\/em><\/strong> Disparities in GDP per capita have been formed over two to three hundred years and won&rsquo;t reverse overnight. However, the OECD predicts that global middle-class spending will grow from <a href=\"https:\/\/oecd-development-matters.org\/2019\/05\/07\/look-east-instead-of-west-for-the-future-global-middle-class\/\" aria-label=\"about 37 trillion dollars, read on OECD development matters\">about $37 trillion<\/a> in 2017 to $64 trillion by 2030. Most of this growth will be driven by the growth of consuming classes in emerging economies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>India &#8211; a case in point<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With over 400m smartphone users and many millions more feature phone users, India is an overwhelmingly mobile-first market in which people use mobile devices to play and to pay as well as to communicate. By 2030, its middle class will number over one billion people, tripling their USD spending power to <a href=\"https:\/\/oecd-development-matters.org\/2019\/05\/07\/look-east-instead-of-west-for-the-future-global-middle-class\/\" aria-label=\"over 10 trillion dollars, read on OECD\">over $10 trillion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The country already has <a href=\"https:\/\/home.kpmg\/in\/en\/home\/insights\/2021\/06\/digital-mobile-casual-gaming-in-india.html\" aria-label=\"420 million online casual gamers, read on KPMG\">420 million online casual gamers<\/a>, 94% of whom play games on mobile devices. Its annual mobile game downloads outpace those in the US by a factor of two to one. Just 4% of gamers have access to a console and 9% to a PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Admix platform alone has almost five billion units of advertising inventory available across India in any given month, on popular games such as Ultimate Car Driving Simulator, Sushi Roll and Traffic Tour. Each of those ad units is an opportunity to reach a highly engaged, otherwise hard-to-reach audience in an increasingly lucrative market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regional opportunities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re all familiar with the acronym APAC, and for good reason. Yet Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh and the Philippines are probably not the economies it brings to mind first, despite their huge smartphone user bases (with relatively low penetration) and economic growth. But what about MENA (Middle East and North Africa)? What if I told you there were <a href=\"https:\/\/newzoo.com\/insights\/rankings\/top-countries-by-smartphone-penetration-and-users\/\" aria-label=\"53 million, read on new zoo\">53 million<\/a> Iranian smartphone users and the average salary in Tehran was <a href=\"https:\/\/destinationscanner.com\/average-salary-in-iran\/\" aria-label=\"almost 22 thousand dollars, read on destination scanner\">almost $22,000<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s look more closely at another acronymic region: LATAM. In a 2020 survey in Latin America <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/500035\/gaming-revenue-countries-latin-america\/\" aria-label=\"over two thirds, read on statista\">over two-thirds<\/a> of respondents reported spending more than 40 minutes a day playing mobile games. In another survey, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1212147\/latin-america-adult-mobile-gamers\/\" aria-label=\"69 percent of adults in mexico, read on statista\">69 percent of adults in Mexico<\/a> said they played mobile games, while thousands of miles away <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1212147\/latin-america-adult-mobile-gamers\/\" aria-label=\"68.8 percent of argentines, read on statista\">68.8 percent of Argentines<\/a> indicated they did the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Covid-19 pandemic, time spent playing video games <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1188545\/gaming-time-spent-covid\/\" aria-label=\"increased by 52 percent, read on statista\">increased by 52%<\/a> in LATAM (more than any other region). Monthly gaming expenditure in Chile, Brazil and Mexico grew by an average of 50% in the same period. Media buyers with a blinkered approach to their mobile marketing strategies are missing out on huge chunks of global brand uplift and revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making the most of global growth<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile gaming is growing in every national and regional market worldwide. And until recently, the infrastructure to advertise programmatically, non-intrusively, safely and to lucrative audiences in premium environments has been limited &#8211; meaning there are huge amounts of growth still available in established gaming economies. Rebalancing ad spending to Indonesia over Ireland isn\u2019t critical today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for media buyers looking to future-proof their media plans and get ahead of the game, it\u2019s key to understand not only that the future of the gaming media channel is mobile, but that it\u2019s truly global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- shortcode [asyncjs] -->\n
