Two things have grown like crazy in 2020: Coronavirus, and the global app economy. 2020 has been crazy, but there’s been massive growth in some sectors, and mobile is one of them
In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier we chat with Lexi Sydow, a senior market insights manager at App Annie, about the state of the global app economy.
The good news: some newbies are winning and it’s not all the rich becoming richer. And, mobile isn’t just about what happens on your phone anymore.
We talk about:
- downloads and growth
- countries that are growing in time in apps and on devices
- surprises in the data
- time for new apps to get on to top downloads and top grossing lists
- why new apps are getting so big so quick
- new features apps are adding
- the overall economic impact of apps
