Significant trends defining the future of Mobile App Development

The mobile app industry is booming in leaps and bounds over the past few years and is expected to grow further at a rapid pace. As per Entrepreneur.com, “By 2017, the App Market will be $77 billion Industry with over 268 billion downloads“. The app development market is driven by advancements in technology, which needs businesses to have a vision for the next few years. Here are some trends that will determine the future of mobile app development:

 

 

IoT

As per Gartner Inc., there will be 26 billion connected devices by 2020, which includes several hundred smart objects such as toys, domestic appliances, sports equipment, etc. These domestic smart objects will be utilizing IoT or Internet of Things, communicating through an app on a smart phone or tablet. Smart phones will act as a remote device to control the things like replacement of parts, paying for subscriptions, updating object firmware, etc. Some established companies like Microsoft, with its Intelligent Systems Service, SAP with its Internet of Things Solutions are adding IoT capabilities to their offerings.

 

M-Commerce

In the year 2014, 19% of retail ecommerce sales were done using mobile phones, according to eMarketer. Experts believe that the trend will continue to rise in the coming years as well as more and more users get adapted to it. M-commerce will further get a push with the increase in popularity of Google Wallet and Apple Pay, which is slowly making its way leaving little space for credit and debit cards.

 

EMM

EMM or Enterprise Mobile Management is a collection of processes, people and technology that uses mobile computing for streamlining businesses. EMM is mainly applied in areas like security, app management and financial management. It is also useful in areas like mobile device management, application wrapping, mobile app management and some elements of enterprise file synchronization. Tools like these are expected to mature with time and address to a wider range of mobile management needs across different operating systems.

 


APM

APM or Application Performance Management is a collective term for mobile metrics and monitoring tools that has helped improve the testing and quality assurance. APM has helped overcome the mobile app testing bottlenecks cause by the diversity of mobile devices and mobile networks which are difficult to predict.

 

Innovative Design

An innovative design for better user experience is one of the best things that you can offer to a user. Effective display of content, data and graphics on your mobile user interface is imperative for a good user experience.

 

Motion and Location Sensing

Motion sensing provides the location data of the user that can be used to provide highly relevant contextual information and services. In the same way, motion sensing apps are used mainly for games, power saving, anti-theft and security purposes.
The above trends are expected to continue in the coming future with advancement in what is already offered. The mobile app development companies need to be proactive in foreseeing and adapting to change to survive in the ever evolving app development industry.
