Reports

China's online gaming market revenue reached RMB 72 billion (USD 11.6 billion) in 2013, up 26% YoY, and is expected to grow approximately 17% to RMB 84 billion (USD 13.5 billion) in 2014, and to exceed RMB 106 billion by 2016. Improved Internet penetration of over 47%, or 641 million Internet users, as of the end of July 2014, rising average income, greater emphasis on browser game development to reach less hard-core players, and increasing overseas expansion will help drive continued revenue growth for China's online gaming industry.
