According to Newzoo, the mobile games market is generating $3.5 billion in revenues from consumer spending in 2021. However, there has been very little research into players’ behaviors and opinions in these markets, especially in Spanish-speaking Latin America. So, in partnership with <a class="af nx" href="https://savanta.com" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Savanta</a>, we set out to understand more by surveying* players in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Peru.

However, data rates vary significantly depending on the location, affecting commutes and making mobile networks less than reliable for hardcore gamers. At the same time, network data costs are considered high by many players, and many have prepaid plans with limited bandwidth. Therefore, players prefer to rely on Wi-Fi to support quality online gaming.</p><p id="f563" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">The survey responses reflected this network access and data use environment. For example, concern about the data used by updates is a trigger for uninstalls. Around 15% of players across the markets have uninstalled a game for this reason. Interestingly, the frequency of updates alone can drive uninstalls with 27% of players in Mexico, rising to 32% in Colombia, having uninstalled a game because it updated too frequently.</p><p id="02af" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">Also, over half of the players consider playing a game offline important. The frequency of play in offline sessions is similar to online sessions: around half of the players play offline 3 to 10 times a week. Therefore, it was not surprising that around a quarter of players have uninstalled a game because there was no offline play option.</p><p id="fba1" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">To address these challenges look at what you can do to:</p><ul class=""><li id="8f29" class="my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv ny nz oa bk">Provide for offline play during sessions.</li><li id="6ed3" class="my mz gy na b nb ob nd ne nf oc nh ni nj od nl nm nn oe np nq nr of nt nu nv ny nz oa bk">Minimize the frequency of updates.</li><li id="3b52" class="my mz gy na b nb ob nd ne nf oc nh ni nj od nl nm nn oe np nq nr of nt nu nv ny nz oa bk">Enable players to choose to download additional features over Wi-Fi.</li></ul><h1 id="8a3c" class="og oh gy bf oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow ox oy oz pa pb pc pd bk">Tip 3: Drive engagement with notifications during key play periods</h1><p id="408c" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb pe nd ne nf pf nh ni nj pg nl nm nn ph np nq nr pi nt nu nv gn bk">Push notifications can be a powerful tool for maintaining player engagement by providing nudges about game progress or features.

The ability to pick up a game easily and progress along with the storyline and competition influence their choice of games.</p><p id="6271" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">However, these countries have different traditions and backgrounds, and players place a high emotional value on games that represent their culture. More than half of respondents said it’s important to have storylines and events or characters relevant to the culture in their country in smartphone games.</p><p id="dc83" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">Therefore, you can adopt similar marketing and engagement strategies across all 4 countries; indeed, you can safely treat Spanish Latin America as a single region in this regard. Overall, you should emphasize testing skills and competing with others when marketing your game. However, incorporating local market characters and events into your games will help optimize success in individual countries.</p><h1 id="b0df" class="og oh gy bf oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow ox oy oz pa pb pc pd bk">Tip 7: Understand local purchase drivers and barriers</h1><p id="af39" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb pe nd ne nf pf nh ni nj pg nl nm nn ph np nq nr pi nt nu nv gn bk">There is a significant opportunity to continue converting the popularity of gaming in Spanish speaking Latin America into spending. The key to achieving this is acting on the motivations and barriers to spending.</p><p id="c242" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">The survey found that making the game a better experience when playing with friends is the top reason to spend across all markets. Spending to compete better with other people is also ranked highly.</p><p id="698c" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">There was also a common pattern across the 4 countries for the most likely purchases. Spending to unlock access to additional elements in the game was the most common reason for spending. This was followed by purchasing battle passes, a category that has risen in popularity quickly with players.</p><p id="ef4f" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">Unsurprisingly, sales and discounts are likely to drive spend. Across all markets, over 40% of respondents said they spend when there are sales or promotions, and over 35% when there are limited-time discounts. However, around one in four players indicated that they spend when it’s needed to progress in the game, and one in five ‘’whenever I want to.”</p><p id="92a2" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">The only major market difference is around spending “when I get paid”: 24% of players in Chile say they do this, 21% in Colombia, 19% in Peru, but only 15% in Mexico.</p><p id="5b54" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">When we asked about the likely factors to discourage spending, the most significant barrier is high in-game prices. However, players are concerned that their purchases may not be good value for money. Also, given a general reticence to use digital forms of payment in these markets, concerns about trust and payment issues with credit cards also play a role.</p><p id="49ad" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv gn bk">To overcome barriers to spending in these markets:</p><ul class=""><li id="8b29" class="my mz gy na b nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv ny nz oa bk">Use bundling, packs, and bonuses to make players feel like their purchases are great value.</li><li id="5169" class="my mz gy na b nb ob nd ne nf oc nh ni nj od nl nm nn oe np nq nr of nt nu nv ny nz oa bk">Ensure your pricing matches local purchasing power.</li><li id="5906" class="my mz gy na b nb ob nd ne nf oc nh ni nj od nl nm nn oe np nq nr of nt nu nv ny nz oa bk">Promote local forms of payment.</li></ul><h1 id="8476" class="og oh gy bf oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow ox oy oz pa pb pc pd bk">Final word</h1><p id="e5fa" class="pw-post-body-paragraph my mz gy na b nb pe nd ne nf pf nh ni nj pg nl nm nn ph np nq nr pi nt nu nv gn bk">Mobile gaming is popular in Spanish speaking Latin America, and this market offers a big opportunity for game developers.
