According to the latest research findings by the independent London-based global research firm TechNavio, virtual goods segment dominate the Social Gaming market in the US. The findings are for the forecast period 2012-2016.
Speaking on this occasion, one of the senior analysts and co-author of this report said,“The virtual goods segment dominates the Social Gaming market in the US holds a market share of 58-60 percent. Gamers' curiosity and passion is one of the key drivers of the growth of this segment. In addition, the high demand for virtual currency is propelling the demand for virtual goods. The Advertising segment and the Lead Generation segment closely follow this with a large number of vendors offering games to suit various gaming profiles.”
The top five vendors include Zynga, Midasplayer (commonly known as King), wooga, Social Point, and Electronic Arts (also known as EA). However, they are increasingly facing competition from new vendors entering the market, offering games on advanced mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, to address the needs of changing gamer profiles.
To determine the scenario for these vendors in the next 3-4 years, TechNavio analysts have conducted in-depth analysis of the impact of market drivers, challenges and trends featuring data on product segmentations, vendor shares, growth rate by revenue and an evaluation of the different buying criteria in order of importance.
