Reports

China's online gaming market, although starting to see more modest growth rates, recorded a 39.4% revenue increase to RMB 25.6 billion (USD 3.75 billion) in 2009, and 26.3% to RMB 32.4 billion (USD 4.91 billion) in 2010. Improved Internet penetration, 34.3% as of the end of 2010, and rising average income will help fuel sustained growth of the domestic market. At the same time, Chinese game developers continue to aggressively pursue export markets, with 34 Chinese firms licensing or self-operating 82 online game titles in overseas markets in 2010, bringing in revenues of USD 230 million - more than twice the 2009 total of USD 109 million.
