A recent report released on the future of app markets provides a comprehensive detail on how the Indian app market is slowly taking a gigantic form.

Continuously rising average income of the people – At present, the average household income of India is around USD 295, which is just 2 percent of average income of people living in the US and Germany. If compared to the average income of Chinese household, the Indian average income is around 50 percent of Chinese monthly income. A recent report published by Human Development Index (HDI) reveals that 41.6 percent Indian population lives below USD 1.25 PPP per day.

This will expand the demand of smart phones as well as apps and take this country's market share to 9.3 percent, which is well beyond the market share of many developed nations.

Increase in the number of smart phone shipments – The rank held by India in context of smart phone shipment is seventh right now and it has a global share of 2.9 percent.

In simpler language, this means that every tenth smart phone in the world will be shipped to Indian market.

Hyperactive app developing sector - just as India gained huge acclamation in web designing and software development, it will no doubt achieve the same glory in app development as well. This country has one of the largest app development communities that is expanding rather swiftly. Most of the Indian apps development companies are offering best quality services and targeting the offshore clients. Some app development companies have mastered the niche of enterprise app development for various sectors like healthcare, education, media, banking and finance, governments and supply chain etc. It is expected that these companies will be in most demand in the future as the craze of enterprise centric apps is surmounting very quickly.

Conclusion
