## Intro

The steadily rising number of smartphone users worldwide means one thing: the mobile application market is showing double-digit growth on par with it.

While global trends are more or less universal, the industry’s state still varies depending on the local market. Development costs, the startup climate, and smartphone user preference in the United Kingdom, for example, may differ from Switzerland.

If you are preparing to develop or grow your mobile app startup, you’ll need a comprehensive overview and outlook of the mobile app industry on a global and local scale. To provide this information, we at S-PRO have studied several hundred-page reports and surveys to summarize them in this report.
