Mobile data and analytics platform data.ai announced the 2023 first-half mobile app status on Thursday, revealing that global Android smartphone users spent a total of 2.5 trillion won on app usage during the period, making it the highest amount in history.
The mobile app market reached $67.5 billion (87 trillion won) with South Korea ranking fourth after the United States, Japan and China.
"The top markets are showing a pattern of rapid growth through 2021, a decline last year, and a rebound this year," data.ai explained. "After a post-COVID-19 downturn, the mobile market is rebounding."
In the first half of this year, South Korea's app spending reached $3.73 billion (4.8 trillion won), which is a 19% increase compared to the same period last year, and a 10% growth compared to the same period in 2021, which was the highest in history due to COVID-19.
