How does a game studio stand out from its competitors?

According to Newzoo's 2021 Global Mobile Gamers Whitepaper, the global mobile game market saw a total of $93.2 billion in revenue in 2021, contributing 52% of total global game revenue. And the mobile game market has been less influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, recording a YoY growth of 7.3% in revenue.

The boom attracted more people to work in the mobile game market. According to the 2021 Global Mobile Game Marketing Whitepaper released by SocialPeta, many regions in the world reported a rising number of mobile game advertisers. For example, North America had over 41,000 mobile game advertisers in 2021, a YoY increase of 18.7%.

It's believed that mobile app companies will increase their spending in the new year as more and more of them have felt the need to optimize their strategies for project setup and product marketing constantly. Product quality competition is a growing trend in the mobile app market, especially the mobile game market with increasingly upgraded game graphics and gameplay. Therefore, game companies will have to win with their technical and innovation capabilities in the future.

As customer acquisition cost has been increasing year by year, it's very important that companies have ways to track market trends and quality creatives. And big data analytics tools such as SocialPeta can help them track the macro trends in the market.
