The growth in app usage over the past couple of years has been phenomenal.
According to mobile data and analytics firm App Annie[i] consumers are expected to spend $120 billion in app stores in 2019. This spending is expected to be five times the growth rate of the global economy.
Interestingly, App Annie highlights that 65 percent of total global downloads are non-game apps with social and communications apps, subscription apps, retail shopping and peer to peer shopping apps seeing huge growth.
