25 developers account for half of the revenue in U.S. Apple App Store and Google Play, says Canalys
Analyst firm Canalys estimated that 25 developers accounted for 50 percent of app revenue in the U.S. Apple App Store and Google Play during the first 20 days of November 2012.
Based on the firm’s daily App Interrogator surveys, the 25 developers generated $60 million in revenue from premium downloads and in-app purchases over this period. Despite the combined number of apps in the App Store and Google Play at around 1,400,000, 24 of the 25 top grossing developers are game developers, with music streaming provider Pandora as the lone non-game developer.
