At the start of a new year, it’s natural to look back on the year
gone by and take note of significant trends or topics.
Fortunately for
mobile app developers, a couple of trends reached important turning
points in 2011, and indicate a potential for considerable sales
increases in 2012.
The first trend was the the shift from desktop and laptop computers
to mobile devices. In 2011, for the first time ever, sales of mobile
devices outpaced computers. Increases in mobile devices means increased
demand for mobile apps, which brings us to our second trend -
People spent more time in mobile apps than Internet browsers. For
example, instead of opening a Safari window to access Facebook, people
used apps on their mobile devices. As the graph shows, as of June,people
spent 74 minutes a day in Internet browsers, and 81 minutes per day in
mobile apps. The number of minutes spent in apps nearly doubled from the
previous year, from 43 to 81 minutes.
As these trends continue, people will be looking for mobile apps that
entertain, organize, and keep them connected with their friends and
family.
