Online Microtransaction Market Forecast 2025-2034: Evaluating Growth Factors, Segments, and Emerging Trends

What combination of drivers is leading to accelerated growth in the online microtransaction market?
The expansion of the in-app purchases functionality in mobile applications is projected to contribute significantly to the advancement of the online microtransactions industry. In-app purchases (IAPs) are transactions performed within mobile apps or software, enabling the purchase of digital goods, content, or features, often within free or freemium apps, which enriches or personalizes the user experience. The inclusion of in-app purchases is set to stimulate online microtransactions as it offers an effortless, readily accessible avenue for users to acquire digital items and content, thus augmenting revenue in the online microtransactions industry. According to the Business of Apps, a leading B2B media and information platform for the global app industry in the UK, in-app purchases stand as one of the most common monetization models in July 2023, with around 50% of non-gaming apps and 79% of gaming apps leveraging this approach. During Q1 of 2021, Google Play saw a revenue of $36.7 billion, and Apple App Store's sales came in at $31.8 billion, anticipated to rise to nearly $200 billion by 2025. Thus, the enhancement of the in-app purchases feature in mobile apps is anticipated to propel the online microtransactions market growth during the forecast period.
