Iran with an average age of 28 years old is considered as an attractive and growing market in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Since more than 70% of Iran’s population are less than 35 years old, the penetration rate of mobile and internet is higher than regional standards. With the development of 3G and 4G mobile telecommunication technologies in Iran and the high penetration rate of smartphones, mobile games market is experiencing staggering growth in Iran. According to the ChartBoost report, in the period of one year (Jan 2014 to Jan 2015), the growth rate of mobile games market in Iran was 897% (The highest growth rate among all countries). It is predicted that in the years ahead, this trend will continue.
For these reasons, Shenasa Co financed Arvand studio in order to seize a large market share in domestic market as well as having a plausible presence in major international markets.
