Growth Android Market has made 861 %
Company IHS has published recently some researches on profitableness of shops of applications Android Market, Apple App Store, Nokia Ovi Store and BlackBerry App World in 2010. As one would expect, Apple App Store still occupies in the lead position with $1,8 billion incomes in 2010, but they have lost some part of the market since 2009 (82 % against 92 %). Research predicts that half of incomes Apple App Store by 2014, will be thanking IPad, in comparison with less than 20 % in 2010. On the second place has settled down BlackBerry App World with growth of 360.3 % and the income 165 mln. Dollars of the USA, and the company share has increased to 7.7 % in 2010 in comparison with 4.3 % in 2009. The third place has affirmed for Nokia Ovi Store with growth of 719.4 % and profitableness in 105 mln. dollars of the USA. Last place occupies Android Market, whose income has made 102 mln. Dollars of the USA, but also growth has made the whole 861.5 % in 2010.

As we see, the difference of a share of the market between the bottom three of shops of applications is insignificant, in comparison with Apple at which decent enough financial separation. Also it is possible to notice a good gain, especially Android OS. In the near future all of us we expect to see Android Market on a position above. Google have already declared that they are not especially happy with sales through Android Market.

The global income for a common market of shops of applications in 2010 has increased by 160.2 % and has reached volume in 2.2 bln. Dollars of the USA, in comparison with 828 mln. Dollars of the USA in 2009. As marks IHS games remain a dominating category of applications on which 52.2 % of incomes in 2010 are necessary.

To told all above I can tell that we have not seen in the list shops of applications from Windows Phone and WebOS, but I am assured that it not on long and they will bite off the piece of this delicious pie.
