Mobile Application Market Growth & Trends:
The global mobile application market size is anticipated to reach USD 567.19 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth is primarily attributed to the growing emphasis on maintaining a healthier lifestyle and the increasing demand for real-time access to health-related data, aiding users in managing their health, fitness routines, nutritional intake, and various physical activities. Moreover, factors such as declining internet costs, widespread smartphone adoption, rising disposable incomes, and the consequent surge in in-app purchases, particularly in the gaming sector, collectively contribute to driving market expansion.
Furthermore, there has been a surge in the adoption of on-demand live video consultation apps globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. While remote consultation services had been growing steadily in recent years, the onset of lockdowns led to a sudden increase in demand for live video consultations. This spike can be attributed to the negative impact of the pandemic on individuals' mental health and anxiety levels, caused by restrictions on movement and the fear of contracting the virus during in-person visits. Consequently, online consultation services experienced significant growth. The user-friendly interfaces and remote health monitoring capabilities offered by mobile applications have further fueled the uptake of healthcare apps for seeking medical advice and consultations.
In addition to gaming and healthcare apps, music and entertainment apps also present promising opportunities for revenue generation. The increasing demand for live streaming apps is anticipated to drive growth in the music and entertainment apps market. Platforms such as Netflix, YouTube, and Instagram offer live-streaming capabilities, allowing users to broadcast to a wider audience. These apps have gained popularity among content creators and social media influencers, who engage with their audiences regularly, enhancing the visibility and ranking of their channels and profiles.
Moreover, the global lockdowns imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have positively impacted the growth of over-the-top (OTT) applications, as people seek entertainment options during leisure time. Consequently, there has been a significant increase in the average time spent on OTT apps during the pandemic, leading to a surge in demand for entertainment applications. However, as governments gradually reopen economies following the containment of the pandemic, it is anticipated that the year-on-year growth rate in the entertainment app segment will return to normal levels.
