This figure is another indicator that Canada may become – if it isn’t already – a formidable player in the mobile application arena.
Consequently, more and more Canadian businesses are beefing up their mobile applications as Canadian consumers expect improved experiences and increased UVP (unique value propositions). If you’re a current business owner or prospective entrepreneur, now’s the time to capitalize.
In this article, let’s investigate a few pertinent facts and figures, and further explore why choosing a great mobile app development firm should be a high priority in 2022.
The Facts & Figures
The Canadian mobile app ecosystem echoes what experts are seeing globally. According to the latest data from GSMA Intelligence, there are roughly 5.29 billion unique mobile users worldwide – an impressive share of the global population for an industry only a couple of decades old.
