Moloco Research Reveals Untapped Potential in Mobile Gaming App Marketing
Moloco, a leader in operational machine learning (ML) and performance advertising, announced the results of a new research study, Beyond Borders: Mobile Gaming Insights for Global which shows that mobile gaming app marketers are overly focused on a limited number of countries. The research suggests that mobile gaming app marketers around the world may be missing out on hidden opportunities in additional countries that would accelerate user acquisition (UA), tap into high-value users, and drive significant growth.
“This research intends to inspire marketers to think outside of their comfort zone. The hyperconcentration of advertising spend in a few countries creates a huge opportunity to uncover high-value users in new global markets that can be unlocked through targeted user acquisition strategies. Perhaps there is some bias that is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy as marketers focus their spend too narrowly. The key learning from this research is that marketers may be missing out on opportunities to capture users of value and that constant experimentation of new audiences is essential as global markets evolve,” said Tom Shadbolt, Senior Insights Manager, Moloco.
The study revealed that:
• 71% of mobile gaming app marketing spend is highly concentrated in 10 countries. In addition, around 40% of spend is directed towards ads in the US alone. The UK comes in second with 6% of the total spend, followed by Germany at 5%, and Japan at 4%. For this analysis, Moloco considered marketing spend that is primarily focused on user acquisition efforts related to in-app purchases (IAP).
• US-based mobile gaming app marketers direct 60% of their user acquisition spend to North America (US, Canada, and Mexico). When combining spend in both North America and Europe, that number increases to 82%, which indicates potential opportunity for user acquisition in other regions, particularly Asia Pacific.
• Mobile gaming app marketers in China are leading the way in diversifying global marketing spend and growth. As an export-oriented market that aims to acquire users outside of the home country, China is ahead in terms of diversified global growth. Only 36% of spend is directed at the US, Canada and Mexico with greater relative spend in Europe, Asia Pacific and other global markets.
• High-value users exist beyond geographic boundaries. 70-85% of in-app purchase revenue is driven by the top 10% of payers in each market that was researched. Distribution of payer value is relatively consistent across markets and genres indicating potential for expansion with targeted user acquisition strategies.
• Paid user acquisition can unlock opportunities in new markets. While paid user acquisition is most scalable in countries that receive significant marketing spend such as the US, Japan, and South Korea, there are pockets of opportunity to target high-value users in countries such as Brazil, Greece, Iceland, Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa.
“It’s tempting to focus on large markets because they’re familiar and marketers are used to advertising there. However, there is significant opportunity beyond these traditional markets where the competition is lower and hitting your KPIs can be much more efficient,” said Sarah Yamanouchi, Head of Growth Marketing at Rec Room, the publisher of a popular free online multiplayer game.
