New call-to-action

This year 2023, purchase behavior is expected to change drastically.

In past years, the global pandemic resulted in more people using mobile devices than ever before. App installs and engagement were usually higher as people would receive mobile devices as gifts downloading apps in tandem. 

Additionally, we were more likely to see plenty of activity among loyal mobile game users who would make more in-app purchases (in-game currency, extra lives, weapons & unlocking levels) as a result of spending some spare free time inside their houses.

While the holiday season traditionally brings huge eCPMS & revenue for advertisers, the results gathered with the Yearly eCPM Report are entirely different during the last 2022. As the world returns to a new normality, some industry analysts have been saying that we’re in the middle of a cold season for mobile devs & studios.

5 Key Findings from our Mobile eCPM Report 2023:

  1. Inflation has risen across global markets. With less purchasing power, users may interact more with rewarded ads.
  2. Privacy changes & restrictions to data granularity have caused a notable impact on the ARPU in recent years.
  3. eCPM for the USA ramps back to levels only seen a few years ago.
  4. South Korea, the Philippines, and other emerging countries have increased their revenue metrics on Rewarded Ads & Interstitials.
  5. Russia, Poland, and other Eastern-European countries have been less affected by the economic conjuncture compared to their Western counterpart.

Month-by-month eCPMs

Compare, month by month, the eCPM evolution to spot trends that may occur again in 2023, and strategize accordingly.

In past years, the eCPMs would be at their highest during November and December. Advertisers would compete aggressively with each other for limited ad inventory by increasing their ad bids, resulting in higher eCPMs for mobile app publishers monetizing with ads.

For 2023, eCPMs predictions for some markets seem to be positive. However, privacy changes and restrictions to data have drastically impacted the ARPU compared to previous years, making it more difficult to track the effectiveness of the install ads through which many mobile studios & developers both acquire new users and earn money from other app makers.

Times are changing! And you need to tweak your monetization strategy just in time to ensure you boost your eCPMs & overall ad revenue despite the factors running our actual economy and shaping a new world.

The economic conjuncture may cause your users’ living needs may overpass consumer wants. This could result in more users preferring and interacting with rewarded video ads during gameplay instead of investing their money in in-app purchases.  

Markets such as South Korea, the Philippines, and other emerging countries have increased their revenue metrics on Rewarded Ads & Interstitials. 

However, other Eastern-European countries have been less affected by this economic conjuncture, which becomes an excellent opportunity for advertisers planning to launch seasonal in-app offerings to level up their games & apps. 

What can we expect for 2023?

There’s still room for advertisers to increase revenue through properly segmented marketing campaigns that drive more engagement, downloads, and installs. 

The extra free time and every single penny saved throughout the year still represent an opportunity for advertisers to get high earnings from mobile users as the excuse to spend money on seasonal promos and discounts makes more sense during an economic downturn.
