Opportunities and Challenges in Global Mobile Application Market
SkyQuest’s mobile application market report analyses the current state of the mobile application ecosystem, as well as future opportunities and challenges. In this section, we provide a roadmap detailing the market. We start with a recap of the key trends shaping the mobile application industry and progress to our detailed analysis.
Current state of the mobile application ecosystem
Before diving into analysis of the mobile application market, it is important to first understand its current state. In recent years, there has been a thousand-fold increase in app downloads and user base for smartphones—from 100 million in 2009 to 4.6 billion in 2021. This growth is fueled by smartphones, people are using their phones not only for personal communication but also for entertainment and work purposes. The number of applications available on smartphones has likewise grown exponentially; from less than 10,000apps in 2009 to more than 2.6 million apps today.
There are two primary reasons for this explosive growth: users want a wider variety such as range of applications available on their phones, and developers want to get a piece of this growing pie. The wide range of apps available on smartphones results from both developer ingenuity and user demand. Developers have come up with new types of apps that can cater to different sectors (such as education, learning, fitness, and wellness among others.
One of the reasons for this growth of the global mobile application market is the increasing adoption of smartphones and tablets among consumers. Smartphone adoption has reached almost 70% globally, while tablet adoption is expected to reach 54% by 2025.
Developers face many challenges in creating good mobile applications. One major challenge is developing apps that are not only functional but also visually appealing. Additionally, developers need to ensure that their app is compatible with a variety of different devices and operating systems. Then there’s the issue of user safety; app developers in the mobile application market must make sure that their apps don’t contain any harmful elements.
Despite these challenges, the demand for new mobile application remains high. This indicates that developers still have a lot to contribute to the burgeoning market.
Shift From Desktop Engagement to Mobile Engagement
One key trend that SkyQuest's report identifies is the shift from desktop engagement to mobile engagement. This is particularly evident in social media usage where platforms like Facebook now have 2.93 billion monthly active users who primarily use their smartphones to access their accounts. As a result, many social media platforms are moving away from desktop-only experiences and instead developing multi-platform apps that can be used on phones, tablets, PCs, and even smartwatches.
A recent survey by SkyQuest on the global mobile application market reports that the majority of web users now use their mobile devices as their primary computer, with a shift away from desktop engagement. The survey also found that only 26% of respondents said they used their desktop as their main device for working or browsing the internet, while 69% used their mobile devices.
The increase in mobile usage has led to some companies in the mobile application market looking to make a shift towards mobile-based engagement. A study by App Annie showed that 60% of app users now access apps on a daily basis from their mobile device, and this percentage is expected to increase to 74%. Out of all app users surveyed, 37% reported spending more time on apps than they do on websites. This trend is expected to continue because apps have more features and allow for greater interactivity.
As businesses in the global mobile application market continue to shift towards mobile-based engagement, it is important to ensure that the user experience is seamless and easy enough for them to switch back and forth between devices. One way this can be done is by developing an optimized mobile experience which includes optimizing websites for mobiles, creating responsive design policies, and building adapters to convert desktop content into mobiles formats.
Given the shift away from desktop-based engagement and the increasing popularity of mobile devices, it is important for businesses to focus on designing a seamless and easy-to-use mobile experience for their customers.
