Contact us for an excerpt:
Similar to the US, a major trend in China is the growth of social networking sites such as QZone, Renren and Kaixin001, all of which host social games, which is discussed in the report. These games are starting to cannibalize some of the advanced casual games on the market.
- The number of Internet users in China reached 384 million as of December 31, 2009 for a 29% penetration rate. Approximately 70% of China’s million Internet users are under the age of 30. This group is most likely to seek out online entertainment, including games, music, and chatting, which Pearl Research believes will drive revenues for the online games market.
