Juniper Research, an analyst firm, has published predictions for the global tablet games market. The firm claims that revenues in the market will rise from $491m (£310m) in 2011 to $3.1bn (just under £2bn) in 2014.
The larger screen size and improved graphics and processing capabilities are thought to be central to this growth, spurring more purchase of games and in-game currency and items.
The author of the report, Charlotte Miller, says: "The tablet device is perfect for playing mobile games... Tablet owners also tend to have a larger disposable income. Higher user satisfation with games and a bigger wallet mean that tablet games look to be highly lucrative."
Juniper also thinks that tablet games will account for a third of the mobile games market's revenue by 2016; spending on non-smartphone mobile games is expected to plummet as more people upgrade to new phone models.
