Singaporeans spent more than three hours on mobile apps in Q1

It represents a 10% growth from last year.

The mobile app market in Singapore has grown in the past quarter ending in March, a recent study by App Annie shows.

In Singapore, the average monthly time spent on apps grew 10% to 192 minutes in Q1 2017 compared to Q1 2016. Globally, the time spent on apps surged 25% to 1.7 billion hours for the first quarter.

Meanwhile, 40 apps out of the 99 downloaded are used per month on average. This brings the daily usage to 12 apps per day – slightly higher than the global average of 11 apps.

Here’s more from App Annie:

Asia

Despite WeChat’s dominate position in China, Chinese users still use an average of 11 apps per day;

Indonesians are spending an average of 221 minutes per day on mobile apps;

South Korea and Japan still lead in time spent as 25% of their time is used for gaming – over 60 minutes per day.

Global

A 25% growth in total hours spent between Q1 2016 and Q1 2017;

On average, over 80% of time spent in apps were spent outside of the country’s top app;

Apps from the Utility and Tools category are most used due to them being pre-installed. This is followed by Social Networking, Communication and Social apps – these make up the largest category by average apps used.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
