iOS has China and Google Play has Brazil, but the U.S., the U.K. and Japan are where the money is

The U.S. the U.K and Japan are the three most lucrative app markets in the world, according to App Annie, accounting for 60 percent of all iOS revenues and 65 percent of Google Play’s.

The app store intelligence company released the statistics today as an infographic to promote the launch of its new analytics service, App Annie for Google Play.

Using the apps of its Android beta testers, App Annie monitored smartphone and tablet offerings on Google Play between January and April, and compared the platform’s performance to what it was seeing from iPod, iPhone and iPad apps on iOS.

The company found noticeable regional strengths were apparent on each platform, with iOS dominating in China and Google Play more popular in emerging markets like Brazil.
