Apple’s App Store is on a roll and growing in direct proportion to the market share of their iDevices. Given the fact that there are almost 250 million iDevice’s on the market, it is normal that the number of downloads from the App Store to be constantly growing with him. On the other hand, the average price of an application is also rising. The analysts of the Piper Jaffray firm believe that this year every owner of an iDevice will download an average of 83 applications, 32 more than in 2010.
An interesting stat is represented by the prices of the applications as those at Piper Jaffray say that the average price this year will increase by 14% while last year it decreased by 18%. Currently, about 82% of the applications from the App Store are free while only 18% are paid. In addition, the average price of an application is $ 1.44, or about one euro. However, the irony is that the free applications generate more money than the paid applications.
As a result, the developers begin to make the transition to free applications that through in-app purchases can be improved as users have the option to buy new features. Regarding the apps for the iPad, the average price of the first 10 applications, from the top purchased applications, is $ 6.32, 36% higher than last year when the price was around $ 4.66. Another stat says that tablets owners spend more money on applications and this trend will matter very much for Apple in the future.
Americans say that next year the App Store will generate revenue of 7.7 billion, with over 3.4 billion dollars more than this year. If the number of iDevice on the market will increase accordingly then the figures presented by them aren’t impossible.
