App Annie Unveils New Solutions to Help Customers Seize Mobile Initiatives at Capptivate

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- App Annie, the most trusted mobile app data and insights company, announced its 2021 app economy forecast and new services today at its premiere event, Capptivate.

At the company's inaugural event, App Annie's SVP, Research and Analysis, Danielle Levitas, unveiled App Annie's projections that, by 2021, there will be 6.3 billion mobile users –– with each user spending a total of 552 hours annually on apps. The company forecasts that annual spend per user will triple, generating a total of $6.3 trillion in the app economy.

"The app economy continues to evolve. There is massive opportunity for businesses in every industry and every market," says Danielle Levitas, SVP Research and App Annie. "But there is confusion as success metrics, applicable insights, analytics, and benchmarking capabilities vary between industry, category and mobile maturity. Clients may be left unsure what success means to their app business. We're here to help solve this challenge."

To meet client demand for education and industry best practices, CEO and co-founder Bertrand Schmitt announced two of the company's most recent initiatives: App Annie Academy and Professional Services. App Annie designed both offerings to accelerate access to insights and to help navigate a noisy market.

• International app market expansion
• Navigating the competitive landscape
• App marketing including user acquisition and app store optimization
