    In total, in 2016, mobile application publishers generated revenue of $ 35 billion, which is 40% more than in 2015. Half of the growth comes from the App Store, although apple products have a much smaller market share compared to Android devices. At the same time, 50% of the App Store revenue this year falls on the Chinese market.

    Surprisingly, direct sales of applications in the official App Store and Google Play stores account for less than half of the revenue from application publishers. Most of the revenue ($ 54 billion), developers have received thanks to alternative sites and independent Android-shops.

    It should be noted that 75% of the App Store revenue and 90% of Google Play revenue is generated through sales of mobile games.
