The following graph published by App Annie shows the trend of the number of downloads on Google Play (Green) and App Store (Blue). As of 2013 the number of downloads was nearly the same for both, but Google Play increased the number of downloads with Gung Nun and increased the number of downloads by more than twice in iOS in 2015.


On the other hand, when you look at the graph on the sales of the application, the ranking of Google Play and the App Store is reversed. In 2014, the App Store had 70% more sales than Google Play, but the difference did not shrink, it increased to 75% in 2015.


Based on this result, IT-related media VentureBeat predicts "Although iOS has greatly drained on Android due to market share, iOS users may have more money to spend on apps." I will.

Another noteworthy point in App Annie's report is that Brazil, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico are contributing to the increase in sales of iOS in the markets of Brazil, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico That is the market of China and Japan.
