According to data.ai data, the region recorded consumer spending of $48.87 million (approximately 62 billion won) in one week from February 13 of this year, just before the outbreak of the war, and then half of that figure for the week starting on March 13 was slightly lower. It recorded more than 28.44 million dollars (about 36 billion won).

After two years, the growth rate was 10%. Korea also recorded 28% in 2021, showing continuous growth through 2019 (21%) and 2020 (26%). This is an indication that the consumption power of women in mobile games is increasing.

    “Data about gamers will become even more important as Apple, Google, and regulators in several major countries prioritize privacy,” said Lewis Ward, director of gaming and VR/AR at IDC. “For example, game publishers data allows the user base of the game to adopt the type of in-game advertisement that is least fatigued and establish an optimized monetization strategy.”
