Discover the Next Big Opportunities in the Mobile Games Market

We had the pleasure of interviewing Duncan Blackett, the EMEA director of advertising sales at Digital Turbine, who will be a featured speaker at the conference. According to Blackett, the mobile games market is projected to reach over $286 billion by 2023, with annual growth of 7%. This presents immense opportunities for app developers and users alike. One of the key opportunities mentioned by Blackett is the rise of alternative app stores, which challenges the established app economy and opens up new possibilities for developers and higher revenue.

Blackett also predicts that mergers and acquisitions in the industry will lead to mobile platform releases from AAA publishers who recognize the potential for growth in the mobile space. Additionally, generative AI will revolutionize game production, pushing the boundaries of quality and speed.

The Importance of ROAS and Undervalued Developments

When asked about the most important key performance indicator (KPI), Blackett emphasized ROAS (Return on Ad Spend), but noted that the measurement period is crucial. Different distribution channels perform differently, and it’s essential to consider the platform’s delivery of ROAS over time.

In terms of undervalued developments in the mobile games industry, Blackett highlighted the significance of multi-platform capabilities and alternative distribution channels. While mobile gaming has its established market, there’s great potential in catering to gamers who prefer other platforms.
