As they say difficult situations inspire ingenious solutions. We are not sure about the author of this proverbial. It is sometimes ascribed to Plato and it does appear in translations of Plato’s Republic but this proverb has certainly inspires the Apps developer in Bangladesh .
Look at the vigorous speed that the APPS market is shaping up here . Every IT company is aligning themselves with the Mobile App Market which is Almost Double This Year to 45 Billion .
In various reports from the industry analyst it is found that Smartphone users worldwide will download more than 45 billion apps this year, nearly twice the number of apps that were downloaded in 2011, according to new data from the research group Gartner, in a clear sign of just how quickly the demand for apps is growing.
Apple, Google and Microsoft dominate the global app market, with Apple accounting for the largest portion of app downloads in 2012. Gartner projects that there will be about 21 billion apps downloaded from Apple’s App Store this year, a 74% increase from the previous year. Going forward though, Gartner predicts that these companies will see growing competition in the app market from Facebook and Amazon. By 2016, Gartner estimates that there will be more than 300 billion apps downloaded annually, or more than 10 times the amount that were downloaded in 2011. While the appetite for apps will continue to increase, the appetite for paid apps will actually decline as a percentage of overall downloads.
Just 11% of apps downloaded this year will be paid apps, and that number is expected to drop to 7% by 2016. Even those who are paying for apps still aren’t paying very much. The vast majority (87.5%) of paid apps downloaded in 2012 were priced at less than $2.99.
