05 Mar 2012 • by Natalie Aster

The social gaming landscape in the country is witnessing a growth momentum due to easy access to mobile and Internet facilities.

The growth of social networks sites, the time spent by users on them, the high entertainment value proposition and opportunity to engage in fun and casual interaction with friends, was fuelling the social gaming market.

As the demand for single and multi-player games continues to soar, animation content production is also increasing. This demand has been further fueled by the popularity of social networks. Although, India lags behind the western countries, the growth rate in production and consumption of gaming applications and content is showing a rapid increase.

According to the report “Animation & Gaming Industry in India (2011-15)” by IS Advisors, animation is simply a rapid sequencing of images displayed in succession to create the illusion of movement. The images can be in 2D or 3D. The animation industry in India has three key segments: Animation Entertainment, Visual Effects (VFX) and Custom Content Development.

In absolute terms custom content development is the largest segment today, followed by animation entertainment and VFX. In 2012, custom content development is expected to remain the largest segment, followed by animation entertainment and VFX.
