Apple Touts App Store's $1.3 Trillion Ecosystem Ahead of WWDC25
- Apple revealed that in 2024, its worldwide App Store ecosystem enabled developers to generate a total of $1.3 trillion in sales and billings.
- This figure reflects a more than doubling of app economy spending since 2019 due to rising demand for digital and physical goods alongside increased in-app advertising.
- The $1.3 trillion includes $131 billion from digital goods driven by games and editing apps, over $1 trillion from physical goods fueled by food delivery and groceries, and $150 billion from in-app ads.
- Apple highlighted that developers were not charged any commission on the vast majority of transactions and attributed this to its ongoing investments in developer tools, fraud prevention, and analytics.
- The report highlights the App Store's role in global commerce growth but comes amid regulatory challenges, including court rulings allowing developers alternative payment methods.
