Market Driver

The adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) in location-based games is on the rise. These games, which layer virtual content over real-world surroundings and objects, can be accessed via smartphones and wearables like smart glasses. The popularity of AR in location-based games is mainly due to their platform flexibility. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR) games requiring dedicated gear, AR is compatible with most mobile devices and headsets. Following Pokemon Go’s success in 2016, location-based AR games have gained traction among developers. Google’s 2018 Google Maps Platform opening facilitated better location-based gameplay. In 2020, IMAX Corporation partnered with Tribeca Enterprises LLC for immersive movie experiences. In 2021, XRSpace launched a VR platform with hand tracking, 5G connectivity, and a strong optical system. Key mobile Value-Added Services (MVAS) providers, such as Alphabet and Apple, are expected to invest in this trend, fueling mobile games segment growth and the MVAS market during the forecast period. 

The Mobile Value-Added Services (MVAS) market is witnessing significant growth with the increasing use of mobile phones and digitalization. MMS, mobile email, mobile money, location-based services, mobile advertising, mobile infotainment, and mobile commerce are trending MVA services. Technology advancements in mobile phones, smartphones, and mobile internet are driving this growth. Telecom sector players like OnMobile, Comverse, InMobi, and network operators are offering these services to enterprises and consumers. MVA services include mobile games, music, wallets, commerce, advertising, email and IM, mobile banking, ticketing, and coupons. Handset manufacturers and consulting firms are also joining the bandwagon. However, privacy concerns remain a challenge. Technology advancements are ensuring secure connections and consumer authentication. Government efforts are also supporting the growth of MVAS. ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) for mobile phones is increasing due to the adoption of MVA services. Mobile phones are no longer just communication devices but brandnew commodities. Mobile commerce, mobile applications, mobile web, and mobile applications are transforming the way we live and work. Despite the complex implementation, the benefits outweigh the challenges.

Market Challenges

Mobile service providers face a significant challenge in generating revenue due to the decline in voice call tariffs and the rise of free voice and video calling services.

Retaining subscribers requires continuous improvement in content quality and innovative offerings. Vendors like Reliance Industries and AT&T are expected to adopt this model. While monetizing content is essential, it may hinder the growth of the global Mobile Value-Added Services (MVAS) market during the forecast period.Mobile Value-Added Services (MVAS) market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing use of smartphones and mobile internet.
