China's mobile phone games market expanded rapidly in the first half of 2005, according to CNIIC, a China-based consulting company concentrating on the telecom industry.

China's registered mobile phone games users grew by more than 20 per cent every month, including 70 per cent-90 per cent active users. There are 250,000 to 300,000 users downloading mobile phone games every month, generating about 20 million yuan in business revenue. The games download market was shared by the China Unicom Co., Ltd. and the China Telecom Co., Ltd. on the 1-4 basis.

However, the development of mobile phone games market still faces many obstacles such as the low quality of games and the low downloading speed.
