Mobile and tablet gaming has seen a surge in popularity the last few years and is expected to keep growing. The amount of revenue generated is expected to grow from $3.6 billion in 2014 to $13.3 billion by 2019, according to Juniper Research.

The research firm says the huge growth will be driven by the increased power in tablets, which will offer better graphics and more storage. As well as faster broadband internet speeds around the world.

Indie developers will have a good opportunity to take advantage in the growing tablet and mobile market. The following years are important for indies, as the market becomes saturated with more and more games. Crowd funding maybe necessary to help games stand out.

Implying that tablets remain as popular in 2019 as people predicted those monochrome blue screen phones of the early 2000's would be by 2010.

igrore this!analysts shouldn't exist,or at least they should speculate short-term!not even a single one analysis hasn't ever been verified! mmm i m predicting that facebook will be dead in 2023...lol -.- they were claiming that pc market will be dead,however it started to surge at least for the three big Lenovo HP dell.they should stop overestimating mobile phones and tablets,saturation is near,for tablets are already signs of death,but analysts are concealing them.p.s the were over-positive predictions for Symbian os in 2008 and now it doesn't exist!do not trust analysts!
