Latest data from Aldora’s report projects mobile games to reach $109.3 billion in revenue in 2024, showing a 3.3% increase year-on-year.
This solidifies mobile’s leading position within the interactive entertainment sector, as noted in Aldora’s Interactive Entertainment 2025 Global Market Sizing & Forecast report, highlighting its “resilience and innovation.”
The combined consumer spending across the three main gaming platforms – mobile, console, and PC – is projected to hit $186 billion this year, with mobile accounting for 59% of the total.
Console sales are on a declining trend, with a 31% drop this year and an additional 11% decrease forecast for 2025. However, software sales on consoles are experiencing a 3.1% growth rate according to Aldora.
Rapid Growth
While mobile continues to lead in consumer spending, PC is expected to see a 4.2% rise to $31.4 billion in 2024, with a forecasted 8.1% increase for the following year.
Aldora identifies emerging technologies, including virtual reality, as the segment with the highest growth potential, expected to grow by 8.9% through 2024. Apple’s Vision Pro is highlighted as a product driving this expansion, although it remains smaller compared to other established sectors as of now.
Aldora predicts emerging technology consumer spending to reach $3.8 billion in 2025, still a small fraction of the projected $250.2 billion for the entire interactive entertainment industry.
Recovery and Growth
In 2024, blockchain games are seeing a 21% increase in consumer spending, expected to reach $651 million. Aldora attributes this growth to the broader recovery of cryptocurrency, while also noting declines in revenue for major game companies in this segment.
The comprehensive report by Aldora delves into transmedia strategies and long-term positivity within the industry.
Despite less than 19% of games obtaining ATT consent on iOS, mobile consumer spending is on the rise.
