October 05, 2022 | Technology & Media

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “In-App Purchase Market Report by Type (Consumable, Non-Consumable, Subscription), Operating System (Android, IOS, and Others), App Category (Gaming, Entertainment and Music, Health and Fitness, Travel and Hospitality, Retail and E-Commerce, Education and Learning, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” finds that the global in-app purchase market size reached US$ 144.6 Billion in 2023. In-app purchase (IAP) refers to the purchase of additional services and features in an application on tablets, smartphones, and computers. They are commonly available in consumable, non-consumable, and auto-renewing subscription-based variants. It provides access to additional features, digital goods, subscriptions, and premium content, directly within the application. It also provides access to promotions and helps to improve brand awareness and download rates. As a result, in-app purchases are extensively adopted across the health, fitness, gaming, education, learning, entertainment, music, travel, and hospitality industries.

Global In-App Purchase Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for smartphones across the globe. In-app purchases are specially made through smartphone-based applications to acquire access to premium content and features. In addition, the widespread product adoption in health and fitness applications due to the rising health consciousness among individuals is contributing to the market growth. The users can buy access to customized diet plans, regular health checks, trainers, and discounted products via in-app purchases. Moreover, the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has escalated the download of social media, gaming, and entertainment-based applications, which represents another major growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the incorporation of digital wallets for in-app purchases to make the payment process smoother and faster is also contributing to market growth. Furthermore, the escalating product demand in gaming applications for purchasing hints, speed upgrades, and additional cosmetic items for characters is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the rising penetration of high-speed internet, the escalating demand for e-commerce, healthcare, and educational applications, and the increasing expenditure capacities of consumers, are also creating a positive market outlook. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 517.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.9% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
