Simon Khalaf, of Flurry, posted a blog on December the 5th titled, “Mobile Apps: We Interrupt This Broadcast.”
In his story, Mr. Khalaf shares the results of a study on Mobile App Growth Flurry conducted in November. Among the results, Flurry “measured over a trillion events from over 250,000 applications created by more than 85,000 developers. Events are actions completed by consumers inside mobile business apps such as completing a game level, making a restaurant reservation or tagging a song. In November, we also measured over 60 billion sessions, which is the start and a stop of an application on a mobile smart device.”
“The chart to the right updates Flurry’s analysis comparing time spent in mobile mobile business apps on smartphones and tablets to time spent on the web using a browser. For web usage on desktops, laptops and smart devices, we build a model using publicly available data from comScore and Alexa. For mobile applications, we use Flurry Analytics data, now gathering data from over 250,000 applications. This time around, we add time spent on television using data released by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2010 and 2011. Note that the bureau hasn’t yet released their 2012 numbers, but given the maturity of the TV market, we assume that time spent on TV is flat year-over-year.”
“Between December 2011 and December 2012, the average time spent inside mobile mobile business apps by a U.S. consumer grew 35%, from 94 minutes to 127 minutes. By comparison, the average time spent on the web declined 2.4%, from 72 minutes to 70 minutes. By our measurement, U.S. consumers are spending 1.8 times more time in mobile business apps than on the web.”
I honestly have not see an analysis that captures the growth of APP use greater than these. What caught me a bit by surprise is the clear separation in the popularity of Mobile Applications over standard web browsing from a PC or a laptop. Clearly, we”re in a very mobile society, as well as a society that wants to be able to access every social activity, from phone calls and texting, to accessing all of the personal social networks, videos, and games. Needless to say, the idea that mobile mobile business apps may soon become used greater than television only seems sensible once you see all the references to social media throughout most television shows today, whether news or entertainment.
When you look at the scope of these numbers, then add the growth in the time spent daily using APPs, it makes it even clearer that every business, every organization, and even every home based occupation requires an app for customers and employees to use.
