Newzoo and Mintegral Asia’s top mobile game market report examines China, Japan, and South Korea as the three largest markets in the APAC region. Each country presents unique opportunities for Western mobile developers, along with unique barriers to entry. These markets are mature and have long been dominated by local players: Tencent in China, Line in Japan, and Kakao in South Korea. Culturally, these markets are very different than the West, with Asian mobile gamers favouring local IPs, fantasy or anime-style graphic designs, different paying behaviour, and more.
