TechNavio today launched its report Global Application Store Market 2012-2016 based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Telecom team said: ”Mobile entertainment includes gaming, browsing, and watching videos on a mobile phone. Since the priorities of consumers change, their way of life also changes. Taking this into consideration, application developers have developed applications that provide entertainment. In the present scenario, people have to travel more for business purposes, and hence the time for entertainment is limited. Therefore, the adoption of applications for entertainment is increasing. For instance, the mobile gaming application Angry Birds is highly used by smartphone users worldwide. Additionally, mobile television is becoming popular among end-users.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increasing adoption of mobile broadband. As mobile broadband is necessary to download and use mobile applications, its availability will encourage end-users to download applications and improve the functionalities of their mobile devices.
Further, the report discusses that two of the major challenges in the market are the availability of free applications and the increase in piracy.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
