아시안 비트 시리즈의 6번째 포스팅에 오신 것을 환영합니다! 베트남,시장을 들여다본 이후 이제 두번째 동남아 나라, 태국을 살펴보려합니다. 이번에는 게임 리서치 회사인 뉴주(Newzoo)의 도움을 받았습니다. (아직 안 읽어보셨다면 이전에 저희와의 콜라보레이션을 통해 만든 글로벌 모바일 게임 시장 인포그래픽과 아시아 빅3 모바일 게임 마케팅도 확인해보세요).

비록 이 지역에서 가장 큰 시장은 아니지만 동남아에서 모바일 게임 출시를 고려하고 있다면 태국은 빼놓을 수 없는 나라입니다. 사실 태국은 동남아에서 21%의 점유율로 가장 큰 게임 시장이며 2017년까지 이 위치를 유지할 전망이라고 합니다.

뉴주의 대표인 피터 워맨(Peter Warman)은 이렇게 얘기합니다:

“태국의 번화한 게임 업계는 글로벌 시장에서 큰 영향력을 가지고 있습니다. 전세계 상위 20개국 안에 자리를 확보하고 있는 태국의 게임 매출은 2017년에 4억 9천만 달러를 초과할 것으로 보입니다. 이중에서 60%의 매출이 모바일에서 올 것으로 보입니다. 지금까지 가장 빠르게 발전하고 있는 분야이기도 하죠. 여전히 빠른 속도로 발전중인 이 지역의 (모바일) 인터넷 커넥션과 함께 모바일 개발자들에게 큰 기회와 지속적인 발전에 있어 엄청난 잠재력을 가진 곳입니다.”
