This report is a comprehensive survey of the booming global “apps” industry.
Currently worth $7.3 billion this year, the apps market is set to double by the end of next year and then to reach a colossal $36.7 billion by 2015.
It's a phenomenon that has gone hand-in-hand with the ever increasing shipments of smartphones, tablets and internet-enabled TVs.
It has already started to change the face of the Media, Gaming, Software and Consumer Electronics industries.
Like a newly built Chinese city skyline, the apps landscape grows dramatically each day. For this survey, we found 112 launched app stores, 50 up from a count of this time last year, with no doubt many more in the pipeline.
Apple alone has recently passed the mark of having a staggering 500,000 different apps available for download. This only goes to highlight the ease of getting lost among the apps world.
Thankfully, as was the case in the earliest days of the iPad, it appears that there's no foremost best-selling app for any single device. The functionality of devices is so limitless that “killer apps” are completely up to the individual.
