What Are the Drivers Transforming the Online Microtransaction Market?
The projected growth of the online microtransactions market is likely to be fueled by the expanding feature of In-app purchases in mobile applications. In-app purchases (IAP), a function incorporated within software or mobile apps, allow users to purchase digital commodities, content or additional features, predominantly found in freemium or free apps to enrich and customize the user experience. Incorporating in-app purchases is anticipated to augment online microtransactions by providing a user-friendly and available method for users to purchase digital content and items, resulting in a revenue surge in the online microtransactions market. As an illustrative point, Business of Apps, a UK-based eminent B2B information and media outlet for the global app sector, reported in July 2023 that In-app purchases constitute the most common monetization structure, with approximately 50% of non-gaming apps and 79% of gaming apps employing this method. Google Play generated a revenue of $36.7 billion in Q1 2021, while the Apple App Store generated $31.8 billion and is projected to reach close to $200 billion by 2025. Consequently, the expansion of in-app purchases in mobile applications will act as a key driver of growth in the online microtransactions market during the forecast period.
