The App Market To Bring $420.7 Billion in Revenue in 2022
As per the data available on Statista, the global app market is expected to produce $420.73 billion in revenue in 2022. The majority of the revenue is expected to come from advertising. As per the figures, mobile apps will earn $214.9 billion in advertising, accounting for 51% of the total revenue. In-app purchases would contribute $200.6 billion in revenue, whereas revenue from paid apps should account for only $5.23 billion. It must be noted that most of the paid app revenue comes from games.
The annual revenue from mobile app markets was just $215.86 billion. Hence, the market size has almost doubled in the next four years. In 2019, the annual revenue increased to $253.02 billion, indicating a 17% growth. However, the real spurt in the growth came in 2020 when the market grew by a massive 25%, and the annual revenue became $316.6 billion. The market sustained the growth rate in 2021 as it grew further by 25.7%, with $397.94 billion in revenue.
However, the annual growth rate is expected to drop down to 5.7% in 2022. The mobile app market is expected to grow similarly in the next few years. As per Statista projections, the mobile app market will grow from $420.73 billion in 2022 to $542.89 billion in 2026. These figures represent a growth of just 29% over four years.
