Android apps begin to generate more money than the App Store
The differences between the two large application markets have always been more than palpable. And it is that Apple continues to be the goose that lays the golden eggs At least for thegame and app developers, who know they always get a bigger pinch of the profits than on Android(10 billion dollars to 7 billion dollars during 2014), where piracy and the philosophy of the open and for everyone make costs are reduced if you want to convince users.Something that seems to be changing, although with important nuances to comment on
In such a way, according to the consultancy Digi-Capital, whose report has been echoed by the media outlet Xataka, states that this trend has changed at a global level, making applications of the Android platform begin to generate more money than iOS applications Of course, for this, you have to understand the weight of the Chinese marketin this equation. Key to the fact that the distances between these rival platforms have changed rapidly in this last stage.
According to information from the consulting firm, the Chinese Android app market has great potential, achieving increasing incomeThat is why, added to the rest of Android's gains globally, it can finally compete and beat iOS Of course, that does not mean that Google Play offers more money and income to developers than the App Store And it is that the application store of Google continues to grow well below the App Store in terms of revenue, despite the Chinese market
The issue is that Google Play in China has its doors closed, having to fight against censorship of many of the Google tools and services That is why there are many other stores and alternatives where there are applications for the Android platform, but they do not depend on the Google store That is why, despite growth in revenue generation, doesn't mean Google is enjoying that slice of the pie.In fact, you should be concerned because in the mentioned Asian market there will soon be as much revenue and movement as in all of Google Play globally
Thus, China is proving to be a decisive market for large mobile companies, for applications and for developers. A market with very powerful growth that is helping both iOS, as well as the platformAndroid, even if that doesn't mean directly supporting Google
Of course, this trend of change in terms of income also seems to be accompanied by other important changes And, although App Store continues to be the most profitable option to start the launch of a game, in recent months it has has seen growth in earning revenue from this content on Google PlayAnd it is that Apple plays with the cards of a higher cost, but Google has a platform that is much larger in number Issues in which they continue to compete and in which China is a decisive value.
