New York, NY— Avatar New York is a leading web design company based in New York City. With innovative websites tailored to each business’s clientele, Avatar New York helps companies attract new customers, increase revenue and enhance their online presence. Avatar New York discusses trends in the apps market and how the industry will continue to evolve in 2015.
Over the years, mobile app development has fashioned itself into a booming industry. Apps have generated more than $30 billion in revenue, and talented developers are enjoying enormous investments. Some designers are even hiring representative agents.
According to Todd Johnson, managing director of Avatar New York web design, “iOS apps made more money than Hollywood’s blockbusters in 2014.” In fact, Apple announced that its developers made more than $10 billion, excluding Apple’s 30-percent commission.
The mobile apps industry has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2008. Predictions for 2015 show continued growth in the apps market, and skilled developers are set to make big money. However, not all apps are showing a significant profit; in fact, 50 percent of iOS developers are making less than $500 per month.
Every major app store has been growing in the last few years, and the trend is set to continue in 2015. Apple’s App Store offers more than 1.4 million apps, and there are more than 1.3 million apps on Google Play. Android developers have more challenges to overcome than those working in iOS, such as major testing and debugging for various devices, but Android devices are still becoming more popular.
Device sales figures are greatly influencing the world of app development. These indicate where consumer demand for apps is shifting. While Samsung, Android’s leading device manufacturer, suffered a quick bout of cooling sales last year, Apple enjoyed an explosion of iPhone sales, which increased by 28 percent in the last quarter alone.
Android has since hinted at some intriguing developments to expect in 2015, such as Google’s modular smartphone, called Project Ara, and Samsung’s curved-glass Galaxy Note Edge. Additionally, some of Apple’s top app developers are intent on expanding their horizons to the Android market. Huge profits, massive fan bases and heated competition are paving the way for innovative developments in the app market through 2015.
