App User Base Growing Rapidly by 215 Per Cent Annually

 

The app user base is growing 15 times faster than the stationary internet user base, indicates a report of research2guidance. According to the German news platform mobilbranche.de, that marks an average yearly growth of 215%, measured over the last five years. In contrast to that, since the year 2000 the user base of the stationary internet has only increased at an average rate of 16% per year.

Although there is a significant difference between the growth rates, the group of stationary internet users (about 2.5bn people) is still more than twice as big as the app user base (about 1bn people).

We want to make a difference at a critical moment
