Ahead of the first MEF Global Forum in San Francisco on the 14-15th November, MEF has teamed up with app store analytics leader Distimo to release a free report showcasing global trends across the Apple and Google App stores in 16 different countries.
As well as analysis of download volumes and revenues by category in established markets such as the U.S. and EU, the report also shines a light on trends in growth markets including South Korea, Brazil and South Africa. It found that the Apple App Store now accounts for 65 per cent of total revenues globally, with Google Play gaining ground in the last six months. The success of games monetization across all countries is mentioned as a key driver, accounting for 71 per cent of total revenues. The full report examines a host of useful data points, download it from the MEF website.
Distimo Chief Commercial Officer and co-founder, Remco van den Elzen is part of the speaker line-up at MEF Global Forum, looking specifically at global games trends and monetisation strategies as part of a dedicated session.

MEF CEO Rimma Perelmuter, said: “The global mobile ecosystem continues to expand into new markets and vertical sectors. Understanding the prevailing business models and regional variances that underpin this growth is essential to helping mobile businesses identify new opportunities across growth markets. MEF will address these trends in San Francisco next month at MEF Global Forum where we will gather and engage the industry’s foremost thought leaders.”
