The structure of selling games and apps
US & EURussia
• Undeveloped Russian market applications are
associated with the following factors:
– Low penetration of smartphones
– Insufficient number of applications on the
market
– The lack of special app stores
By 2014, the Russian market will be similar to the USA and EU,
game and app sales will increase 63%
• Assumptions for 2010-13
– Selling games – natural growth 8-10% year
– Selling apps– quick growth ~21% partially due to
removing obstacles preventing market development
– Proportion of Java-app reduces as number of smart-
phones grows
Unlike the U.S. and EU, games and Java-based
applications account for the majority of sales in Russia
