Top 3 Mobile App Development Trends that will dominate 2021
Currently, there are over 3 billion smartphone users around the world who spend more than 90% of mobile time on applications.
It is imperative for companies today to stay adaptable, agile and updated with new mobile app developments.
The future of mobile is the future of everything. In my opinion, it has become the television (i.e. youtube), the radio (i.e. podcasts) and the new way to be social (i.e. social media platforms).
Below, we have listed the top 3 mobile app development trends that will dominate 2021.
1. Mobile Apps On-Demand: On-demand mobile app development is a trend that has spiked particularly this year during the pandemic.
Apps like UberEats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo are leaders in this space, with the overall on demand services market reportally stating users spending £50 billion per year on such services. Such said services present companies today with ample opportunities to widen their customer base, by leveraging these on-demand capabilities to add advanced functionality to apps and thus increase profits. Yummy!
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI): Artificial intelligence and machine learning both penetrated mobile app development years ago. However, we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface with how these advanced technologies can be used.
Last year, Apple released Core ML 3. This latest version of the iOS machine learning framework which was built to help developers embed AI technology into their apps.
Examples of AI features that can now be implemented into mobile apps include:
Image recognition
Face detection
Text and image classification
Speech recognition
Artificial intelligence not only helps make apps smarter, but ultimately improves the performance at every level. From the backend development process to the frontend user experience, AI will change the way apps are built-in 2021 and beyond.
3. Mobile Commerce: Mobile apps have been growing at a rapid pace year on year with companies and brands leveraging them to increase sales.
By the end of 2020, it is said that more than 70% of total ecommerce sales will come from mobile devices. Apps play a significant role in the current and future success of mobile commerce.
We’re not quite at this point yet, but we’re almost reaching the age where you need a mobile commerce app to stay competitive. Every single person and business selling online is competing with giants like Amazon. To keep pace, you need to replicate what makes those brands so successful; an app is at the top of that list.
2021 will continue to be a big year for ecommerce app development. Plan accordingly.
Are you prepared for the mobile app development changes in the upcoming year?
Mobile app development is constantly changing. If you’re building apps today using information from two or three years ago, you won’t be able to stay competitive.
