- In 2015, the total revenue generated across all mobile operating systems was about $70 billion.
- In 2016, this number reached $88 billion.
- By 2020, the combined mobile app revenue will reach a staggering $189 billion.
Confirming Statista’s projections, a 2019 report by eMarketer, found that “the average adult in the U.S. spends 3 hours and 43 minutes on mobile devices” and most of that time, “2 hours and 55 minutes is spent on smartphones.” Because 90% of mobile browsing takes place within an app, having a branded mobile app for your company is a necessity for your business’ growth.
