Ringtones & Games
17 Jan 04 Within 24 hours, two reports about ringtones were released that contradict each other.
Arc Group says ringtones were very strong and are still on the rise, though they may drop off in the future, while Juniper Research puts a lower value on the past year's sales and says the market has already peaked. They claim the ringtone market was worth $1 billion in 2003, and that they expect it to decline to about half that by 2008. Another report from the Arc Group contradicted it, saying that when it evaluated last year's ringtone sales, it saw sales some three times that of the Juniper Research report- $3.2 billion. Although the Arc Group report predicts that ringtones are still on the rise, they warn that unauthorized ringtones as well as more appealing downloads such as new games or even video, may thin out the ringtone industry's earnings over time. >
