Analysing the mobile app market in the USA
According to a study by CBinsights, el tiempo medio que dura entre los 1000 mejores una «app» en itunes store es de 23 días. Además existe una gran variación en función del sector al que se dirija.
 

Top sectors: games and entertainment

The games sector accounts for 30% of the apps in the top 1000. In addition, the 7 dominant sectors account for 75% of the apps. One conclusion from the analysis is how the position changes depending on the day of the week. Gaming and entertainment related apps rise on weekends while productivity related apps rise on weekdays.

"The games sector had several investment operations in Spain, being an active sector for Spanish venture capital. An example of this was the operations of hooptap(led by Business booster)placechallenge (mola.com), playspace (peoplefund)socialpoint (BBVA) and yourgames.com (Itnet)» comenta Diego Gutierrez experto de financiación alternativa en Abra Invest.
