Global App Download Rates Indicate The Future of Technology Will Develop Even Further in 2022 and Beyond

We are living in a digital age where technology is constantly evolving. In the next few years, we will see how different industries and sectors of our society have been affected by these changes.

One area that has seen tremendous development in recent years is online apps usage, which has been steadily increasing year after year.

As displayed by Gravitee from data compiled by various sources, 2021’s most downloaded apps in the USA includes TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram. These apps are social media platforms with a focus on communication, networking, and sharing.

One reason for this surge in these app downloads is the increasing number of mobile users around the world.

With the introduction of new technologies like AI, AR, VR, IoT, and more to come in the next few years, not only will people by downloading apps from the app store, they’ll also start using other established technology tools as well.

Which apps are expected to continue to grow in 2022 and beyond?

As the number of app downloads increases each year, it’s important to understand how this will impact your business.

In 2021, the most popular downloaded apps in the USA were TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram. These social media platforms with a focus on communication, networking, and sharing are expected to continue to grow in 2022 and beyond.

New technologies like AI, AR/VR, IoT, etc., will continue to be developed over the next few years. Many believe that they will replace current app usage.

With the increasing number of mobile users around the world, one reason for this surge in these app downloads is that more and more people are using their phones as a primary computing device.

Technology Forms to Aid the Development of Apps

AI and Machine Learning

AI and machine learning are predicted to have a huge impact on the gaming industry in 2022. These technologies will allow for more efficient and faster processing, improved user experiences, and better business intelligence.

AI is also predicted to have a huge impact on eCommerce in 2022 through predictive search and personalisation of results. AI can be used to personalise the user experience.

As more and more businesses adopt AI, it’s important to understand how this will impact your industry.

Augmented Reality

AR is a technology that merges the physical and digital worlds. It allows users to interact with digital content that is superimposed onto their real-world surroundings. AR experiences can be delivered through apps, websites, or even in print form.

It’s expected that AR will become more popular in 2022 as businesses begin to understand how it can be used to improve their customer’s experiences.

Virtual Reality

VR is a technology that immerses users in a virtual environment. It can be used for gaming, entertainment, education, and more.

In 2022, it’s expected that VR will become even more popular as businesses continue to find new and innovative ways to use the technology for their benefit.

Blockchain-based Games

In 2022, it’s expected that there will be more blockchain-based games released as the gaming industry begins to understand how this type of technology can improve user experiences.

Blockchain is a decentralized network that stores data in an encrypted and secure manner and uses peer-to-peer transactions rather than a centralized authority.

This type of technology can be used to create a more transparent and secure gaming experience for users. It also allows players to own the in-game assets they earn, which can then be traded or sold on secondary markets.

IoT

The internet of things (IoT) is a network of devices that are connected to the internet. These devices collect and share data through machine learning algorithms, which allow them to learn from their interactions with each other and improve over time.

It’s expected that IoT will continue growing in 2022 as businesses find new ways of implementing this technology into their business models for improved efficiency and productivity.
