Mobile Games are defined as gaming applications for smart devices such as smartphones and tablets. Leading app stores like Google's Play Store and Apple's App Store offer paid app-downloads (single purchases) and freemium games that are free to download but normally allow in-app-purchases for various additional contents or access time. Physical games for mobile consoles/handhelds and free-to-play gaming apps are not included.
All figures are estimates. A detailed methodology can be found in the Statista Market Outlook.
