Transparency Market Research has published a new market report, titled "Mobile Applications Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020." According to the report, the global mobile applications market, which was valued at US$16.97 bn in 2013, is expected to reach US$54.89 bn by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 16.2% during the period ranging from 2014 to 2020.  

The global mobile applications market is increasing like never before owing to the growing smartphone users across the globe and an increase in the number of downloads of mobile apps.

Mobile applications, or mobile apps, are software that is user friendly and designed for operating on mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, and other handheld devices.

An elevated demand for mobile apps for gaming is one of the major reasons for the market's growth. The advancement in mobile internet networks and connectivity has also made it possible for consumers to download several free and paid apps, thus boosting the global mobile apps market. According to the report, gaming and entertainment are the the most commonly downloaded apps categories. The gaming and entertainment mobile apps together held a 40% share in the global mobile applications market. Other popular categories of mobile applications evaluated in the report are social and personalization, productivity, audio and lifestyle, music, travel and navigation, and business, finance, and utilities apps.
