Title: Mobile application sales to reach '$17.5bn by 2012'
Post by: Simon on March 18, 2010, 22:05

The global appetite for mobile applications will explode over the next two years, new research suggests.

A study done for Getjar, the world's second biggest app store, said the market will grow to $17.5bn (£12bn) in the next two years.  The study claimed downloads would climb from 7bn last year to 50bn by 2012 - a 92% year-on-year increase.  It found there had been a gold rush with the number of app stores rising from four before 2008 to 48 today.
