Distribution of small mobile app developers that joined the Apple App Store ecosystem in 2022, by region
According to Apple, small developers are defined as follows: "We consider a developer on the App Store to be a small developer in a given year if it had fewer than one million downloads and less than $1 million in earnings across all its apps in that year. We exclude developers who never had more than 1,000 annual downloads. These criteria are broader than those of the App Store Small Business Program. In particular, our definition includes businesses that do not sell digital goods and services directly on the App Store."
The values may not sum up to 100 percent due to rounding.
Other regions include Brazil, South Korea, and India among others.
