We would like to share details of the biggest technology trends that are set to impact the mobile app development industry in 2020.
Machine Learning and AI:
When it comes to mobile app development, AI & Machine learning already made an intense impression. There is no stopping with chatbots and Siri now. It will also enable future trends such as automated machine learning, Al-enabled chips and more. According to the International Data Corporation, it is estimated that the market for AI will be at $40 billion by the year 2021. Off late more sectors are working towards the goal to have the system integrated together with human intelligence.
Internet of Things (IoT):
As time is evolving, the Internet of Things has become an industry itself. People can control non-IT equipment through mobile apps using this technology. This technology collects and processes the data of different devices by synchronizing them and structuring them. IoT would bring up future trends like self-driving cars, healthcare, etc. According to the Growth Enabler report, the IoT market has been developing at a CAGR of 28.5%. And is expected to reach USD457 billion by 2020.
Mobile Wallets and Payment Gateways:
Mobile wallet usage is at an all-time high. Millennials are no longer willing to pay in cash or type in our account details to manage their transactions.

According to Statista, the worldwide market of AR and VR technology will skyrocket from $27 billion dollars in 2018 to about $209 billion in 2022!
Beacon Technology:
Beacons are tiny transmitters that transmit signals to other devices via Bluetooth. They make ultra-localized searches easier for users. When the phone enters a beacon’s zone, the relevant app immediately receives this signal and provides relevant notifications and guidance for the users. Beacon has immense potential in the marketing landscape. As per Statista reports, the market worth is expected to be worth USD 52.46 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 29.8% between 2016 and 2022.

At the end of the day, one can keep in touch with other activities without visiting their phone or tablet and this is the core advantage of wearable technology. Statista says, the number of connected wearable devices reached 453 million in 2017 and is expected to reach 929 million by 2021. With the development of technology, we can expect wearable applications to soon turn into an important part of our everyday lives.
Cloud Integration/Investment:
Adaptation to Cloud technologies is a must to make the app function seamlessly across multiple platforms. This helps mobile apps to store a large amount of data efficiently and carry out complex tasks. Cloud technology increases the reliability, speed, processing power, and security of the apps and enables them to deal with a large amount of data. The worldwide public cloud services market is projected to grow 17.5 percent in 2019 to a total of $214.3 billion, up from $182.4 billion in 2018, according to Gartner, Inc.
The mobile application plays a major role in our day-to-day life.
