It takes a lot of time, effort, and money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when you\u2019d be investing so much in <strong>mobile app development<\/strong>, it is important that know the nitty-gritty before you get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now there are many self-proclaimed mobile app masterminds who are plastering their thoughts and beliefs across the Internet masking them as facts. You, however, don\u2019t need that. What you need to be able to make the right mobile app development-related decisions is solid data. Data that comes from authentic sources and is presented in a comprehensible manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, I\u2019ve tried to make that possible. I scavenged the Internet and found the most important <strong>mobile app development statistics<\/strong> that you need to find the answers to all your mobile app development-related questions. Here\u2019s a quick roundup of the most important statistics worth your attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"theme_subhead\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First things first, is mobile app development worth it?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing that you need to understand before investing in mobile app development is whether it is actually worth it. Well, here\u2019s what we can understand from the available data &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/330695\/number-of-smartphone-users-worldwide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.3 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> smartphone users in the world today.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2025, the number of mobile users is expected to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/218984\/number-of-global-mobile-users-since-2010\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.49 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Globally, mobile app users spent an average of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.8 hours<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their mobile phones.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">92.5%<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the time people spend on their mobile phones is spent on using some mobile application.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These figures make it clear that as access to mobile phones increases, there will be a wider audience that you can capture and convert using apps. And the increase in mobile phone usage will also directly result in an increase in the time people are on mobile apps, allowing you more time to convince and engage your target group.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know that investment in mobile app development is worth it, you need to nail down the specifics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key questions to ponder over is &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"theme_subhead\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you get native Android\/iOS apps or go for cross-platform mobile app development?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both native Android and iOS apps and cross-platform apps built using React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, or similar technologies have their own advantages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what the numbers suggest about Android vs. iOS app development<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estimates suggest that 75% of mobile app users are currently using an Android device, while only 25% have iPhones. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>That means, if you want to reach a wider audience, Android app development is the way to go. <\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>According to sources, iOS app development holds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessofapps.com\/\">less than 15%<\/a> of the mobile app development market. But it leads to revenue generation for the mobile app development community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means iOS mobile apps, though fewer in number, cost more than Android apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Android and iOS apps together resulted in monetization worth\u00a0 $133 billion in 2021. Out of that 63% of revenue came from iOS apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be largely attributed to the fact that iPhones are more popular in high-income segments of society and that\u2019s why you are likely to generate higher revenue by investing in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/synergytop.com\/services\/mobile-application-development-services\/ios\/\">iOS app development<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, we can safely conclude that to reach a wider audience, you should consider getting an Android app developed. However, from a revenue standpoint, iOS app development is better, though it also comes with a higher development cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the choice between Android and iOS app development should depend on who your target audience is and which platform they use the most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if you feel that your audience is split between Android and iOS users and you need to get both apps, you should consider getting cross-platform mobile app development services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/blog\/leveraging-react-native-to-build-high-performing-mobile-applications\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can learn more about using React Native for developing high-performing business mobile applications here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, you might also want to consider making your app available on Windows phones.\u00a0 Though the trend for the Microsoft-backed Windows phone is on a decline, there were still <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/232796\/forecast-of-microsoft-users-in-the-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 million+ Windows phone users in 2021<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To capture that audience too, <\/span><a href=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/blog\/xamarin-develop-native-android-ios-and-windows-mobile-apps-with-shared-app-code\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you can leverage Xamarin with its shared code for Android, iOS, and Windows devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have decided on the type of mobile app you want to target and the technology you want to leverage, you should contact expert mobile app developers for your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"theme_subhead_h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some guides to ease your journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/blog\/10-reasons-to-hire-a-specialized-mobile-app-development-company\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are 10 reasons why you should hire a dedicated mobile app development company.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you contact your mobile app developers, <\/span><a href=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/blog\/critical-questions-to-ask-yourself-before-meeting-with-your-mobile-app-developer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here are some critical questions you should ask yourself.<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, <\/span><a href=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/blog\/want-to-get-a-business-mobile-app-developed-heres-your-kickstarter-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here is a Kickstarter guide to help you get started with your mobile app development journey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, getting a mobile app development isn\u2019t going to be the end of your journey.
