AppLot - Mobile Content Store
Demand and consumption of mobile content has seen a manifold increase over the last few years, resulting largely from the staggering growth in mobile penetration worldwide. The increase has been further fuelled by two recent developments in the mobile devices space: first, increasingly sophisticated smartphones, and second, availability and popularity of feature phones, mostly in developing and emerging markets. Growth of smartphones has phenomenally increased the usage of mobile applications and App stores. The growth on the second side has been due to the increasing availability of non-intelligent or feature phones in developing countries, sourced from manufacturing facilities in China. Users of these low-end and medium-end feature phones are also demanding and ready to consume content that can be used for personalization of phones and aid the users in their daily lives.
The focus on business-to-consumer (B2C) mobile marketplace, with ringtones, games, text messaging, news, and other related content, has continuously expanded. There has also been significant growth in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-employee (B2E) marketplace, as businesses strive to provide mobile access to company information and functionality to business partners, workforce and consumers.
