China and other emerging regions are now influencers of the global app economy

As more smartphones are shipped globally, and more mobile traffic is available worldwide, China is not only fueling the demand for global traffic but also responsible for maturing the mobile app economy in emerging regions including the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.

•  China’s advertisers outspent mobile advertisers of developed regions, as China invested more budget into emerging regions.

•  Productivity apps from Chinese developers account for the largest mobile ad investment globally due to the ease with which a productivity app can be localized.

•  Rising install-rates in most emerging regions suggest growing positive sentiment for app discovery through mobile ads, and increasing consumption of mobile apps as a result.
