The industry contributes to overall productivity and growth of the economy because of the high levels of competitiveness and innovation it brings to other industries, and the enabling role IT plays in changing the way other sectors do business every day. Having recovered from a stagnant year in 2010, the global software market grew by 8.2 per cent and reach $267Bn (£165bn) in 2011. Despite the worrying economic situation, no dramatic cuts to enterprise IT budgets were seen in 2011 and same will be the case going forward from 2012 to 2020. In-fact over the next four years, the market will achieve a compound annual growth rate of 7.7 per cent, reaching revenues of $358Bn (£222bn) in 2015, during 2015 to 2020 the market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.2 per cent reaching $462Bn (£286bn) in 2020 as companies use software to tackle huge increases in data and improved enterprise mobility.

Social gaming includes revenue that Social Networking sites earn directly from users who play games that are developed in-house, and the revenue earned by allowing game developers/publishers to use their sites as a platform to let users play with friends on the network. It includes revenue earned from virtual wallets within games (such as when users spend virtual money on in-game items like swords or tanks, or to create virtual armies). Social Networks take a platform-oriented approach to game monetization. That is, the Social Networks have evolved into platforms for social gaming by publishing APIs that help build an ecosystem of developers and publishers. The dominant monetization models for social games are ad-led and freemium models. The free-to-play games are funded either through advertising (wall advertisements and in-game branding) or through in-game monetary transactions that enable users to ‘level up’ or buy virtual goods.
