Customer preferences:
Peruvian consumers have shown a growing interest in mobile gaming, with an increasing number of people turning to their smartphones and tablets for entertainment. This shift in consumer behavior can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the convenience and portability of mobile devices allow users to play games anytime and anywhere, making it a popular choice for those with busy lifestyles. Additionally, the wide variety of mobile games available on app stores caters to different interests and preferences, appealing to a diverse range of consumers.

Trends in the market:

This trend can be attributed to the accessibility and simplicity of these games, which appeal to users of all ages and gaming experience levels. Furthermore, the social aspect of mobile gaming, such as multiplayer options and online leaderboards, has contributed to the growing popularity of casual gaming in Peru. Another trend in the market is the increasing monetization of mobile games through in-app purchases and advertisements. Developers have found innovative ways to generate revenue from their games, offering virtual items, upgrades, and additional content for purchase within the game.
