Trends in mobile app technologies
With estimations of over 230 billion mobile apps downloaded last year, a figure growing year by year, mobile apps are projected to generate more than 613 billion USD in revenues in 2025. This promising estimation will be supported by the upcoming development trends driven by cutting-edge technologies that enable new services and products for a demanding audience. The everlasting discussion about native, web, and hybrid technologies continues. More powerful devices, fastest communications, immersive technologies, and new architectural paradigms (the so-called, Web3) complement new choices in mobile development. Light apps for seamless user experiences, Progressive Web Applications for universal access, distributed applications for increased robustness are only some examples of the new possibilities today.
