On games and in–game content implemented from the Russian App Store and Google Play over the past year, developers earned $ 215 million, – said App2Top.ru a representative of App Annie.
Two days ago we wrote that two of the world’s leading mobile markets generated $300 million in Russia. After App2Top.ru I turned to the representatives of App Annie for comment, new details were found out.
It was not about the volume of the market, but about the amount of payments to developers from the market. In other words, the figure of $300 million is without taking into account the share that the App Store and Google Play took for themselves.
Based on this, it turns out that the turnover of the Russian mobile application market – the full amount received from the sale of goods – at the end of last year amounted to $429 million.
App Annie also reported that $215 million was paid to developers from gaming applications sold in Russia. Thus, the turnover of the Russian mobile games market is about $307 million.
All the data obtained, as noted in App Annie, is “approximate”.
