Summary
India’s app market is exploding — revenue hit $345 million this quarter, up 35% from last year, fueled by users finally paying for AI, streaming, and productivity apps. Downloads stayed steady while spending per download doubled over three and a half years, signaling a major shift toward subscriptions. With digital wallets and unified payments making transactions easier, India’s growing appetite for premium apps is outpacing even the U.S., where app revenue dipped. Generative AI apps like ChatGPT and Claude are leading the charge, while gaming also saw a rare uptick — India’s digital economy is rewriting the rules.
