1. Technology Trends That Are Changing
the Mobile App Development Industry

2. ● The mobile app industry has transformed into a vast
business model and is doing amazingly well in the
market.
● To catch up with its speed and to survive, we need to
be familiar with the changing mobile app development
trends.

3. What is mobile app development?
● A set of procedures and processes included in writing
software for wireless, small, computing devices, like
smartphones and other hand-held devices.
● Mobile applications are usually written mainly to reap the
benefits of the exceptional features of a specific mobile
device.

4. Types of mobile applications
● Native Apps - Developed using integrated development environments
(IDEs) and languages for mobile operating systems, like Google Android
or Apple iOS.
● Hybrid Apps - Built using technologies like JavaScript, HTML, Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS).
● Progressive Web Apps - Crafted with web technologies, like Facebook
React.
● Encapsulated Apps - These are apps that run within a container app
using products like the Microsoft Power App drag-and-drop app
creation tool.

5. Mobile App Statistics & Growth Projections 2021
● In the first quarter of 2021, both the app stores Google Play
and Apple App Store had 33.6 billion app downloads together.
● It's expected that by the end of the year 2021, the revenue of
the mobile industry will reach approximately $581.9 billion.
● In 2021, we will witness a rise in the global mobile gaming
market value, which is expected to reach $165.9 billion.
● It is estimated that by the end of 2021, mobile devices would
significantly contribute to over 70% of all eCommerce sales.

6. Technology Trends That Are Evolving
the Mobile App Development Industry

7. Mobile Commerce
● Mobile commerce, also called m-commerce, refers to any
monetary transaction that is completed while using a mobile
device or tablet and includes paying your bills online and online
banking.
● With the advent of e-payment systems, mobile commerce has
become a popular medium for making cashless transactions
through applications like Amazon Pay, Google Pay, Samsung
Pay, and PayPal.

8. 5G Technology
● In comparison to its predecessors, 5G wireless technology
delivers significantly higher data speeds, ultra-low latency,
more reliability, massive network capacity, increased
availability, and an increasingly more uniform user
experience.
● This increase in performance will help users better
experience things like 4k streaming, VR and AR, and
enhanced IoT services.

9. IoT App Integration & Wearable Devices
● IoT technology is all about the mushrooming network
of devices connected to the Internet, providing
consumers with convenience and ease of control to
consumers.
● The applications for IoT are vast. Some examples
include smart homes, smart and self-driving
automobiles, smart cities, and IoT devices in
healthcare.

10. Beacon Technology
● Beacons are small, wireless transmitters that rely on low-
energy Bluetooth technology to connect and send signals to
other smart devices nearby at regular intervals.
● It is one of the most recent major developments in location
technology and proximity marketing, and it's made location-
based searching and interaction easier and more accurate.

11. Foldable Devices
● Foldable devices hold the caliber to compress
and expand their screen size to meet user
preferences.
● Foldable devices utilize OLED displays that can
be bent easily into literally anything - like cell
phones that can open up into tablets, laptops
with more customizable displays, and even smart
bands that can open into smartphones!

12. Augmented reality
● Augmented Reality, or AR, brings digital elements
into your natural surroundings using a camera or a
smartphone.
● Some applications that are possible with the help
of AR are AR-based virtual user manuals, AR and
VR-based visual learning, and AR-based
destination navigators.

13. Mobile Wallets
● A mobile wallet is essentially a virtual wallet that stores
information from a credit card, a debit card, coupons, and
loyalty cards on a mobile device.
● Mobile wallets are gaining in popularity because they allow
users to seamlessly make in-store payments without having to
carry cash or physical credit cards.

14. Blockchain Technology
● A blockchain is a digital ledger of transactions
that is duplicated and distributed across the
entire network of computer systems on the
blockchain.
● It offers a comprehensive security solution to
protect sensitive information and can be used for
everything from transactions and data
exchanges to sensitive documents.

15. Artificial Intelligence
● Artificial Intelligence or AI aims to make computers
and computer programs smart enough to imitate
human behavior, and it initiates common sense,
problem-solving, and analytical reasoning power in
machines.
● It strengthens the mobile app evolution by making
them elegant pieces of software that can anticipate
user behavior and make decisions.

16. It’s a Wrap!
Mobile developers need to understand that going with these latest trends will help
them develop a state-of-the-art, high-functioning app. Be open-minded, and you’ll
do wonders.
