Observing and following the developments in the market, the company closely observed both the Android and iOS sides. Sharing its observations with its readers, the platform identified the highest-paid applications in 2021. TikTok, whose rise could not be prevented, dethroned YouTube.
Top-earning apps announced TikTok hit the top
With the arrival of July, the first six months of 2021 have come to an end. Sensor Tower, which closely follows the App Store and Google Play, determined the most successful applications of the year. Accordingly, the mobile application market has reached 64.9 billion dollars worldwide. This amount also revealed the impact of the pandemic on consumers. Compared to $40.5 billion in the first half of 2019, the year-on-year increase was 28.4 percent.
When we look at the expenditures, we see that Apple is still ahead with the App Store. The platform, which brought application developers $ 34 billion in 2020, increased it to $ 41.5 billion in 2021. Play Store, which experienced a similar growth, made $23.4 billion in revenues from $18 billion. TikTok was the company that received the most money from both platforms.
Both stores had an estimated 72.5 billion downloads worldwide. Consumers showed 74 percent more interest in TikTok in the first half of the year compared to the previous year. YouTube was the second highest grossing app with $564 million. The star of the pandemic, Tinder, ranked 3rd with an estimated revenue of about $520 million, followed by Picoma and Disney+. Tencent Video, Google One, IQYI, Line Manga and Twitch followed soon after.
