Definition:

The Books & Reference market contains apps that allow users to access books and reference works on their mobile phones. Most of these books and references are also available as printed works but are more affordable and convenient to access as digital publications. An example within this market is the Amazon Kindle app, which makes it possible to read Kindle eBooks on mobile devices. Another example is the Audible app, which lets users connect to their Audible accounts and listen to audiobooks while on the go.

Additional Information:

We consider three different sources of revenue:
  • Revenue from in-app purchases (IAP) that comes from the purchase of features, upgrades, and subscriptions within an app
  • Paid app revenue from the one-time purchase of an app
  • Advertising revenue obtained from showing ads within an app
Our statistics include the revenue earned by developers and also the revenue earned by stores through commissions.

In-Scope

  • Apps that can be downloaded from major app stores such as Apple, Inc.'s App Store and the Google Play store, or in the case of China, from stores such as Huawei AppGallery and Tencent Appstore.
  • Apps that are run on iPhones and Android phones.

Out-Of-Scope

  • Apps exclusively offered by Microsoft Store and Amazon Appstore for Android.
  • Custom-made apps not available from any official app store.
  • B2B/C2C app sales of any kind.
  • Subscription revenues outside of in-app purchases (for example, Netflix and Spotify use their own payment systems outside of their apps).

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on revenue from in-app purchases, revenue from the purchase of apps, and revenue from advertising, as well as the number of downloads for each app category.

    Modeling approach:

    Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use market data from independent databases and third-party sources, current trends, and reported performance indicators of top market players. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as smartphone users and mobile broadband connections. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are GDP/capita, level of digitization, and consumer attitudes toward apps.

    Additional notes:

    The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
