I tried to answer the question “How Big Is Japan’s Social Gaming Market” back in February by aggregating numbers from three different sources. And now Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities in Tokyo has issued a new report with their own findings regarding future growth of Japan’s market for social games.
We all know that GREE, DeNA and to a lesser extent Mixi are making serious money with producing/distributing social games, but how much money are Japan’s social game companies making alltogether?
Here are the projections for market size:
2011: US$2.66 billion
2012: US$3.28 billion
2013: US$3.8 billion
Stats for ARPPU (not ARPU):
2011: US$42.18
2012: US47.42
2013: $53.03
Number of paying users:
2011: 5.27 million
2012: 5.86 million
2013: 5.98 million
