ABI Research today published a new five-year forecast for the mobile apps space, predicting a continued surge in the number of apps available, with Apple’s App Store predicted to remain the “healthiest app economy in terms of downloads” for the foreseeable future.
ABI expects 2010 to be the biggest year for mobile application downloads going forward, with just under 6 billion forecast to be downloaded, up from an estimated 2.4 billion in 2009. Revenues from mobile app sales, however, are expected to decline by 2012, as competition has led to downward pressure on application prices; and a greater proportion of “must-have” applications will begin to have free or advertising-supported substitutes.
