The AppStores model is no more the only one

THE APPSTORES ARE STUFFED

GOOGLE PLAY HAS THE DOWNLOADSBUT NOT THE MONEY

Google Play scenario limits

onebip.com

POOR DISCOVERYThe overcrowded app stores and increased dependency on large advertising budgets mean that the majority of developers find it hard to compete within the two main stores.

1

DIFFICULT TO REACH OUTSIDE GOOGLE PLAY Mobile operators, device manufacturers and new app stores all have large volumes of mobile users. Game developers are struggling to access these channels due to technical and commercial fragmentation.

2

POOR CONVERSION IN GROWTH MARKETSGoogle Play struggles to convert and monetise consumers in emerging markets as credit card penetration is poor and Google Play’s terms marries poorly with local payment solutions.

3

LARGE ADVERTISING BUDGETDiscovery in Google Play is problematic and vast advertising budgets are needed to launch and maintain earnings from games.

4

STATIC CHARTSDespite hundred of new games added each day, games like Candy Crush Saga, Clash of Clans, Game of War and Subway Surfers have dominated Google Play’s charts for the last 24 months.

Android new scenario

DEVELOPER SQUEEZEThe overcrowded app stores and increased dependency on large advertising budgets mean that the majority of developers find it hard to compete within the two main stores.

1

NEW PLAYERS ENTERINGThe size and growth of the mobile games market attract new players. Companies that control large mobile user bases are all looking at how they can monetize through mobile games.

2

THE CHINA FACTOR+70% of the Android smartphone growth is driven by emerging markets. Chinese manufacturers with low cost Android devices are dominating these markets. These manufacturers are seeking to monetise outside Google.

3

APP INSTALL ADVERTISINGQuick and forceful shift from organic app store growth to advertising driven growth. In less than 2 years, App Installs drives 75% of Google Plays revenues and dominates Facebook’s revenues.

4

POLITICAL DRIVERS VS GOOGLE Political forces in EU, US, Russia and China are threatening Google dominance within Android.

5

DIRECT CARRIER BILLING RISING UPThe best Merchants and App Developers designing their Android App to best monetise via In-App DCB Payment are getting 5x Revenue than Google Play only
