These days, the global gaming industry is illustrating massive growth, with the sector expected to reach a staggering $68.5 billion in revenue in the coming months. One of the major factors behind the gaming industry’s impressive rise up ranks has been due to mobile game development. As consumers, we’re able to access more sophisticated smartphone devices, which, in turn, has meant that developers have been able to up the ante accordingly. Many gaming companies are aiming to play their part in the industry’s overall growth are based in India, too.
India has always been a nation that has had an affinity for gaming. In fact, India is one of the top five mobile gaming markets in the world in terms of the number of users, with an estimated 657 million gamers in the country, according to a recent report published by KPMG. India has been featured in a host of iconic video games over the years, too, such as the 2015 release Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 from 2011. As a result, gamers in the country have always had plenty of options to explore.
Popular smartphone products tend to be in high demand also, with casino gamers in the country regularly exploring titles like Microgaming’s Aliya’s Wishes slot alongside other options which are available in the Google Play and App Store such as Coin Master and Clash Royale. In fact, mobile game downloads in the country touched a significant 2.9 billion in the July-September period last year.
