China is expected to be the largest games market in the world, ahead of the US, whose anticipated market size is US$ 23.5 billion.

Gamers worldwide are expected to generate a total of US$ 99.6 billion in revenue for the video games industry this year, an 8.5 per cent increase from 2015, with China accounting for a quarter of that income.

That means the country has more than 314 million active mobile gamers, who are generating around US$ 5 billion worth of revenue for this specific market.
