But the growing adoption of internet-enabled TVs and the proliferation of free-to-play games will trigger exponential revenue growth.

“The sheer volume of addressable connected devices means this sector will be hard to ignore for content owners,” said Piers Harding-Rolls, head of games research at IHS.
