App Store Downloads Reaches 102 Billion in 2013 Till Date


This year the amount of apps purchased from the app store has outnumbered all the previous records and finally has reached to 102 billion till date. 90 % of these apps have been downloaded from App store of Apple and Google Play. The global app revenue has also achieved a new hallmark by generating $26 billion.

Due to the dominating market of free available apps, this year there will be 83 billion free apps in all downloaded apps. IAP has also used effective ways in promoting paid apps as the users who are paying for their favorite apps cannot be ignored. Thus, IAP is really doing a promising and appreciable job by sustaining and encouraging the the app-purchasing methods. There are some new methods evolving to promote more users to buy apps, that is, a user will pay only when he is happy or satidfied with the app. 

According to some analysts users are more engaged with apps or games, when they are new and have more excitement, but users having devices for a while are less interested in spending money for apps. iOS and Google are the market leaders in app stores and as iOS 7 is soon to be released, there will be a tremendous rush for the apps compatible with the newer version.
