At the WWDC2016 Global developer Conference in June, Apple announced that it now has more than 2 million apps in its app store App Store, all of which have been downloaded more than 130 billion times, while paying developers $50 billion directly. Now there are reports that Apple is expected to have more than 5 million App Store apps in 2020.

Growing rapidly! It is estimated that the application of App Store will exceed 5 million in 2020.

Sensor Tower, an application market analysis company, recently reported that although iOS's market share and number of applications are lower than Android's, developers' contribution to App Store application development shows no sign of slowing down.

According to the report, the number of App Store applications is expected to reach 2.93 million by the end of 2016, while the number of active applications in App Store will reach 5.06 million by 2020. This means that the number of Apple App Store apps will grow by 73% in four years.

Growing rapidly! It is estimated that the application of App Store will exceed 5 million in 2020.

Since its launch in July 2008, a year after the launch of the original iPhone, the number of Apple App Store apps has exploded, especially in game apps such as Candy Crush Legend, Tribal Wars and Pokemon Go. At the end of 2008, the number of App Store applications was 5000; at the end of 2015, the number of App Store applications was 1.75 million; and the number of App Store applications exceeded 2 million in June 2016. Based on this, it is expected that the number of Apple App Store apps will reach 5.06 million by the end of 2020.

Statistics show that of the 48231 new apps launched in May this year, game applications accounted for 43 per cent (nearly 21000), far exceeding the number of applications for other content. There are only 2472 in education, 2378 in entertainment, 2247 in business and 2225 in lifestyle.

Growing rapidly! It is estimated that the App Store application will exceed 5 million (WWDC2016) in 2020.

At the same time, as App Store Store apps continue to grow, Apple is constantly improving the App Store Store, such as reducing the App Store app review time to 24 hours, introducing a bidding ranking mechanism in North America, being compatible with IPv6-only web services, and forcing all iOS apps that log on to App Store by the end of 2016 to adopt ATS security standards.
