In 2015, the volume of the mobile games market in Taiwan will grow by 70% and amount to $474 million,” says analyst Wu Wen-Jung from Taipei Computer Association.
The mobile gaming market in the country is developing rapidly. Last year alone, it showed an increase of 226%, according to the data of the Taiwan Institute of Marketing Research and Consulting (Taiwan Market Intelligence and Consulting Institute). Among the reasons Wu Wen Jun calls the development of the market of China neighboring Taiwan and the fact that most local game developers switch from the browser to mobile.
Arthur Chow, CEO of 6waves, agrees with the opinion about the prospects of the Taiwanese market. At the Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki 2014 event, he expressed confidence that Taiwan will soon become a key country in the region.
Let’s add: thanks to cultural traditions similar to China, Taiwan is an excellent sandbox for trial runs of games in the region, – our colleagues from the Pocketgamer resource believe. According to other studies, Taiwan also has a lot in common with the Japanese market.
