Although Apple’s mobile operating system iOS is still leading the app-downloading market, Google’s Android platform is keeping up pace with its rival, according to a new infographic.
App Annie, a provider of app store analytics and intelligence for iOS, Mac and Android publishers, highlights in an infographic that shows iOS makes up 71% of global revenue for app downloads — compared to Android’s 29% share — but both companies are growing 14% year-over-year in revenue for app downloads.
“iOS publishers are undoubtedly making more money than Android publishers,” an App Annie spokesperson told Mashable. “But Android has shown impressive growth in the global market.”
In fact, Android app downloads in the U.S. represent 7% more of the download market compared to iOS apps.
The infographic also highlights how the world is currently downloading iOS and Android apps. The U.S. is the top country with iOS downloads, making up 28% of the global market share, followed by China (18%) and Japan (7%). This indicates that iOS sees strong support in the bigger Asian markets. The remaining 48% comes from a collection of other countries. The U.S. is also the top country with Android downloads (35%), followed by the U.K. (10%) and Germany (6%).
However, the fastest-growing countries by revenue Japan (no. 1), Russia (no. 2), the U.S. (no. 3) and France (no. 4). But Android is showing a lot of growth in developing markets such as Brazil.
