The App Economy started in 2007 with the launch of the Apple App Store. Today it is a
dynamic and expanding sector including several competing stores and platforms.
Since then the app economy has experienced an explosive growth, with a huge impact
on the number of jobs created, contribution to the GDP and positive side effects on
sectors not directly related to the mobile industry, but that benefited from mobile apps
anyway (health, education, media, etc.)

Time consumed via communication and entertainment apps
and time saved via productivity apps (including
communications, maps and office productivity tools) represent
economic value.

SAVING LIVES
Apps also bring social benefits beyond their immediate
economic value. The use of mobile applications to enhance
public safety is illustrated by the case of the London Air
Ambulance service, which now uses wireless data to get to
