SINGAPORE -- Southeast Asia is the world's fastest-growing gaming market, as the expanding middle class becomes increasingly reliant on mobile devices, a research company reported recently.
Newzoo, based in the Netherlands, estimates compound annual growth of 28.8% for 2013 to 2017 in Southeast Asia's gaming market, including console, online and mobile games. This exceeds projections for other emerging regions such as Latin America at 14.2% and eastern Europe at 14.7%.
