One of the most popular genres in mobile gaming is tower defense games. The mobile tower defense games market is especially popular on smartphones and tablets, where gamers can easily take them with them wherever they go. In addition, tower defense games are great for keeping people occupied on long road trips or flights, as they require little to no interaction from the player other than choosing where to place the towers.

The popularity of the mobile tower defense games market is evident in the number of apps available in the store. There are currently over 170 different tower defense games available for download on the App Store, and similar numbers are available for Google Play and other app stores. The popularity of tower defense games is likely because they are easy to pick up and play, but offer a lot of strategic depth and replay value. This combination makes tower defense games one of the most addictive genres out there for smartphone and tablet gamers.

Some of the most popular titles in the global mobile tower defense games market include Zombie Farm, Don't Starve, and Plants vs. Zombies. In addition to being entertaining, these games offer an excellent opportunity to practice math and logic skills as players must problem-solve in order to assemble a defensive perimeter.

Virtual reality is slowly budding in mobile tower defense games. Although the technology has been around for decades, there's still a lack of mainstream apps and games that feature VR support. That said, some developers are starting to get on board and create games that take advantage of the immersive experience.

69% of mobile tower defense games revenue comes from Android phones

Over 83% of the global population owns a smartphone, which stands at around 6.6 billion, and Android holds over 70% market share followed by iOS (28%).

Recent studies by Astute Analytica on the mobile tower defense games market have shown that Android phones are the primary device for playing mobile tower defense games. This is likely due to a large number of Android titles available, as well as the wide variety of devices that Android can be used on. Android games are also more affordable than iOS games, which is another reason why Android dominates in this category. iPhone users are more likely to spend money on premium in-game items or bigger screens.

According to recent data on the mobile tower defense games market, 69% of mobile tower defense games revenue comes from Android devices. This is likely due to the larger number of Android users compared to iPhone users. Additionally, Android devices generally have more space for games, which makes them more convenient for playing these types of games. The reasons for this dominance are manifold: Android offers more developers access to the platform than iOS, and users are more comfortable downloading apps from third-party sources. In addition, many of the world’s top game developers are based in Android’s geographical stronghold, Asia.

The primary markets for these games are in North America and the Asia Pacific, with Europe trailing behind.
