Latin Americans love gaming. Particularly Brazilians, of whom a huge 70% are said to be regular gamers. And it’s spread pretty evenly across genders as well. This passion highlights the region’s thirst for creative and interactive entertainment, its addiction to smartphones, increased connectivity and rising disposable income among certain groups.
Mobile gaming is particularly popular in the region, with the market expected to grow at a 5-year CAGR of 10% to 2029. This is understandable. Although both Brazil and Argentina are closing in on the US in terms of internet penetration, the cost of consoles and unlimited data plans, combined with often long commutes to school or work, makes mobile gaming a more popular option for many in the region.
But, be aware that the Latin American gaming market is as diverse as its population. Therefore, while opportunities exist for international companies to introduce new games in mobile format, locally-focused research is crucial to understand market needs and importantly, what gamers are willing to pay for.
