Martyn Williams has an interesting look at the Japanese mobile content market.
His notes for the calendar year 2007:
More than $100 billion was spent on mobile content (the total was actually $107.5 billion)
Sales includes items such as ring tones, Web site subscriptions and e-commerce purchases.
E-commerce made up about 65% of the total amount spent (transactions include: movie and event ticket sales, travel reservations, air and rail ticket sales, stock trading and online auctions).
The biggest percentage gain came from "high-fidelity music" which increased 42% thanks to more mobile devices handling better quality sound.
Mobile gaming jumped 13% as well.
- E-book market expanded 220 %
