Games a global leader in online gaming, today released its 2013 State of Online Gaming report. The survey not only draws on global data from Spil Games' platforms, but also a wide range of other industry insights to create a comprehensive analysis of how the market has evolved and how it is set to develop in the coming years.
Commenting on the report, Oscar Diele, Chief Marketing Officer at Spil Games, said, "Although the power of online gaming has been talked about for a while, insight into the market is still quite disparate. Almost every day we come across a deep hunger and appetite for figures and analysis. Ultimately, gaming is a huge part of everyone's online behavior, with games being played by both men and women of all ages. That offers real benefits to brands and advertisers."
Michael Pachter, analyst at Wedbush Securities, added, "Gaming is a huge part of people's online and mobile activities, and for advertisers this presents a significant opportunity. Today, the advertising budgets assigned to gaming by brands are less than the total digital spend. This report clearly demonstrates why brands need to incorporate their media buys into online and mobile gaming."
Online gaming is a top online activity just behind watching videos
Of the 700 million global online gamers, 46% are women
Online gaming offers high penetration in emerging markets, such as Turkey where 70% of the internet population is playing games
Mobile gamers are affluent, with 59% earning in excess of $75,000
The most popular game categories in the US varied between girls, boys, men and women:
Adult women tend to play games primarily to break away from their daily routine and at the same time get some mental stimulation
Games such as have a cross-generational appeal with mothers and daughters playing together
Tween girls like to act out grown-up situations they recognize (for example, pretending to have a job or be a parent) to help them feel independent
Boys and men are focused on competition and showing off high scores
CTRs for video ads on gaming sites are roughly 15 times higher than those for standard online advertising campaigns and Facebook ads
"What's really important for advertisers, however, is that people playing online games are immersed for long periods of time," added Diele. "At Spil Games we're witnessing the same high volumes of regular players and engagement rates that many other reports are pointing to. For instance, across our 180 million monthly active users we're seeing average session times of 30-40 minutes, which is more than double the session time on YouTube. These are session times similar to TV, which give brands the perfect platform to reach their target audiences online and across mobile."
