What Drivers Are Shaping the Growth and Development of theOnline Microtransaction Market?

The anticipated surge in the online microtransactions market is largely guided by the increasing use of in-app purchases within mobile applications. In-app purchases (IAP) are transactions conducted within mobile apps or software, which allow users to acquire digital products, content or perks. These transactions are typically seen in free or ‘freemium’ apps and serve to elevate or personalize the user experience. Incorporating in-app purchases could catalyze the expansion of online microtransactions, by virtue of the ease and accessibility it provides to users in procuring digital items and content. This, in turn, could escalate revenue in the online microtransactions market. For instance, data from the Business of Apps, a leading B2B media and information platform in the UK for the global app industry, suggested in July 2023 that in-app purchases are among the most widely used monetization models. Approximately half of non-gaming apps and 79% of gaming apps employ this strategy. In the first quarter of 2021, Google Play garnered sales of $36.7 billion, and the Apple App Store noted sales of $31.8 billion. These figures are projected to near a whopping $200 billion by 2025. Hence, the surging popularity of in-app purchases within mobile apps is anticipated to stimulate the online microtransactions market’s growth in the foreseeable future.
