Enterprise Mobile App Trends That Will Dominate Market in 2020

Let us start this blog with a quick brainstorming. What do you think is the split between mobile app usage and mobile web usage?  Many of us believe that it is somewhere near to half-half but the reality is something beyond this. The ratio of usage between the two is becoming lopsided. A report by ComScore articulates that smartphone and tablet users are spending 87% of their time on apps and only 13% are on the web.

Now, the second question that comes here is what is the most popular app category? A report by Statista says that gaming apps are the most dominating in the app store followed by business apps that bear a share of almost 10%. This means after gaming the most developed one is business apps.
