From AppleInsider:
Apple’s rivals battle for iOS scraps as app market sales grow to $2.2 billion
At the top of the charts is Apple’s App Store, with a 82.7 percent share of the market on revenues of $1.78 billion, aided in part by sales of new iPad apps. The App Store has grown by 132 percent over the last year, but its share has slipped from last year’s 92.8 percent as other vendors have worked hard to put in a showing.
The report said mobile apps are likely to grow to a $3.9 billion business this year, with Apple expected to maintain more than half of all sales through 2014. IHS also figures that Apple’s iPad, which currently makes up about 20 percent of App Store revenues, will increase to 50 percent of Apple’s business by 2014.
