LONDON – February 23, 2016 – Appnext, a leading monetization and app distribution platform dedicated to building robust mobile businesses by promoting apps, today announced a 345 percent year-over-year growth in 2015. Additionally, Appnext now serves 12B apps to 380M unique users in 180 countries around the globe.
"The app-install ad spend has skyrocketed over the last few years as more developers are looking for premium solutions to drive downloads and more publishers are looking for relevant content for their users,” said Elad Natanson, CEO and co-founder, Appnext. "Appnext finds itself at the epicenter of this trend working with some of the world's top companies to help them monetize their properties and acquire more quality users."
Additional growth stats includes:
Much of Appnext’s growth is fueled by the exploding app install ad spend. In a recent report from eMarketer, more marketers than ever before are investing in app install ads. Last year, eMarketer predicted U.S. mobile app install ad spending would rise by 80 percent from the previous year, reaching $3B. A Business Insider report similarly predicts that the app install industry will grow to $6.5B by the end of 2019. For major platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and Google, the high prices these app install ads command make them valuable inventory. Appnext’s unique self-serve advertising platform operating on a CPI basis enables indie developers and leading brands worldwide to join this trend and attract high quality engaged users.
