What Key Drivers Are Expected to Influence Future Online Microtransaction Market Growth?
The anticipated growth of the online microtransactions market is largely linked to the rising adoption of In-app purchases (IAP) within mobile applications. IAP, a feature that allows transactions for digital goods, content, and features within apps, is increasingly being integrated into free or freemium applications as a way to enhance the user experience. This creates a simple and easy way for users to access digital elements, directly contributing to higher revenues for the online microtransactions market. As reported in July 2023 by the widely recognized UK B2B media and information platform for the global app industry, Business of Apps, roughly half of all non-gaming apps and 79% of gaming apps utilize IAP as their main source of income. Notably, the first quarter of 2021 saw Google Play rake in $36.7 billion and Apple App Store $31.8 billion in sales, and these figures are expected to climb to nearly $200 billion by 2025. This increase in In-app purchases usage in mobile applications will play a key role in stimulating growth in the online microtransactions market for the foreseeable future.
