TelecomDaily: the Russian mobile games market will show a 25% growth in 2022%
The miracles of forecasting and expertise are demonstrated by analysts of the agency TelecomDaily. They believe that the volume of sales of mobile games in Russia by the end of 2022 will grow by 25% — from $960 million last year to $1.2 billion this year.
The key factors of growth, according to the agency, were the fatigue of Russians from the news and the desire to spend more time on entertainment. They say there are no premieres in cinemas, traffic in shopping malls has decreased, so Russians began to spend all their money in mobile games.
There were experts who agreed with the opinion of analysts. For example, Vyacheslav Bogatkin, director of Appfox (developer of games such as “Circus of Miracles” and “Schools of Smart Girls”), said in a comment for RBC that the market will grow by 15%.
How did analysts come to such surprising conclusions for the editorial board App2Top.ru it remains a mystery. Apparently, both the TelecomDaily company and the RBC expert are not aware that at the beginning of the year, Apple and Google payment services stopped conducting operations in the country. As a result, users lost the ability to pay for their purchases in mobile stores. In other words, the Russian mobile games market has shrunk to zero in terms of cash.
