HAMPSHIRE, U.K.—Juniper Research has released its latest report on the future of mobile porn, titled "Mobile Adult Content: Trends, Drivers and Business Models 2012-2017." Priced at a mere £1750 for a single-user license, the report includes an analysis of revenue distribution, an examination of current and developing business models and 88 tablets containing forecast data.
Among the forecasts, Juniper claims that tablets will continue to see increased use by consumers as a preferred device on which to enjoy their favorite smut. In fact, the tea leaves tell Juniper that not only will the projected number of subscribers of mobile porn sites, including mobile live chat, triple by 2015, but the amount of adult content available for optimal use on tablets is also expected to triple by 2015.
Other key findings in the report include:
* Revenues generated on tablets to increase by more than five times by 2017.
* Average annual spend on mobile adult subscriptions for handsets will increase by 11 percent by 2015.
"Tablets combine the privacy of a smartphone with a large screen, particularly suited for content consumption," said the report's author, Charlotte Miller. "It is clear that, as with many other types of content, users of mobile adult content will want to access content on their tablets as well as on smartphones and PCs."
However, the report also warns, "The fact that a significant proportion of tablets are shared devices will restrict growth. The move towards ‘multiscreen’ experiences also means that consumers may be reluctant to purchase content solely for the tablet. In some regions, legislation and social attitudes towards adult content will also restrain the growth of the mobile adult industry."
