India & mobile gaming: top 25% globally for user retention

John Koetsier

We know mobile commerce is massive in India. And we know that India is the last remaining blue ocean market for smartphone sales.

But did you know mobile game publishers see higher user retention in India than in three quarters of countries on the planet?

Here are a few more details:

In fact, India is in the top 25% of countries globally for mobile user retention 14 days after install for paid app installs.

For paid user acquisition, 30.1% of Indian users are still using the app after 14 days, compared to a global average of 24%. For organic user acquisition, 37% of Indian users are still using an app 14 days after installing it, compared to a global average of 30%.
