Social Network Game Development in the US

Since their inception, social network game developers have grown rapidly. Revenue grew at a CAGR of 6.5% to an estimated $6.1 billion over the past five years. The surging adoption of the internet and the popularity of social networks, including social networking websites and mobile apps, have driven revenue growth during the period. However, profit has exhibited extreme fluctuations due to the large number of small start-ups with external funding.

The games developed within this industry are free to play and do not require the user to own any software or console to participate.
