The global mobile user base continues to grow, but its distribution is far from uniform. Here’s what you need to know:
- Android dominates with over 70% of global market share.
- iOS, while smaller in share, accounts for over 60% of total mobile app revenue due to its high-spending user base.
User Intent Insight: If you’re targeting emerging markets and mass adoption, Android is the better fit. For premium users and higher in-app purchases, iOS may be your winner.
