サマリー
インスタット社の調査レポート「米国スマートフォンユーザ調査:アプリケーション別ダウンロード/利用/削除状況 ー US Smartphone Application Downloads, Usage, and Deletions by Application Type」は、携帯電話でダウンロードできるアプリケーションの米国市場を調査した。インスタット社のモバイルユーザ調査の分析、プラットフォーム毎のモバイルアプリの好みの詳細データ、プラットフォーム毎のユーザあたりのダウンロード量と利用パターン、アプリケーションの価格、解約、需要データなども記載している。
The news is dominated by the number of applications in smartphone application stores and the number of downloads by users. However, there is little news addressing the types of applications that are being downloaded, the types that are actually being actively used, and those that are being deleted, as well as the impact of pricing on purchasing behavior. In-Stat surveyed active smartphone users to provide both data and analysis on the above smartphone usage patterns. Research presented in this report includes:

Appleのスマートフォンアプリケーションダウンロードの独占状態はまだまだ途上
アリゾナ州スコッツデール、2010年3月24日
携帯電話の契約者にとって、急増するモバイルスマートフォンのアプリケーションを利用することが当たり前になってきて、市場の覇権をめぐる争いが加熱してきたと、米国調査会社インスタット社は報告する。ユーザのアプリケーションダウンロード数は驚異的に増加しており、Appleのスマートフォンユーザは、平均的なスマートフォンユーザの2.4倍以上アプリケーションをダウンロードしている。しかし、アプリケーションに関する成功は、ダウンロードだけに留まらない。
「モバイルアプリケーションの成功をダウンロードだけで見るのは、車をバックミラーだけで運転するようなもので、それでは全くの片手落ちといえよう。特に無料のアプリケーションでは、利用方法が成功を決定付ける。この調査によって、ソーシャルネットワーキング、電話ツール、ユーティリティが、平均以上の利用率と平均以下の削除率の開発者に収益をもたらすことがわかった」と、インスタット社のアナリストFrank Dickson氏は語る。
インスタット社は、下記についても調査した。
- 競争の激化と厳しい価格戦略によって、市場には大きな価格下落圧力がかかり始めている。プレミアムアプリケーションにはある一定の価格帯が見え始めており、開発者はそれにならうだろう
- 無料地図と乗換案内は、ほとんどのプラットフォームで最も人気のあるアプリケーションだが、Appleは他のプラットフォームの6倍ダウンロードされている
- Palm OSユーザは、無料のソーシャルネットワークアプリケーションをたったの3%しかダウンロードしておらず、回答者全体の31%に比べるとずっと少ない

Apple's Dominance of Smartphone Application Download Rates is Only Half the Story
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 24, 2010 - The fight for market dominance has heated up as mobile subscribers take to mobile smartphone apps in rapidly increasing numbers, reports In-Stat. While users are downloading applications at a phenomenal rate, Apple users download 2.4 times more applications than the average smartphone user. However, downloads is not the only success factor for an application. “Monitoring mobile application success by downloads alone is like driving your car and only using the rear view mirror; it provides only half of the story,” says Frank Dickson, In-Stat analyst. “Especially for free applications, usage is what determines success. Our research indicates that social networking and phone tools and utilities provide better returns for developers as they have above-average usage and below-average deletion rates.”
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- Increased competition and aggressive pricing strategies are starting to create significant price pressures in the market. Certain price points are emerging for premium applications, developers should price their products accordingly.
- Free mapping and directions were the most downloaded apps on most platforms, but just sixth on Apple.
- Only 3% of Palm OS users have downloaded free social networking applications, compared to 31% of total respondents.
Recent In-Stat research, US Smartphone Application Downloads, Usage, and Deletions by Application Type (#IN1004738MCM), covers the US market for downloadable mobile applications. It includes: - Examination of results from In-Stat surveys of mobile users.
- Detailed data on mobile app preferences by platform.
- Per user download volume and usage patterns by platform.
- Application value, churn and demand data.
