Adjust has released its new shopping app insights report, packed with data and expert analysis on mobile shopping trends. Key findings include a 61% year-over-year increase in global shopping app installs from H1 2023 to H1 2024, with Europe showing the highest retention rates at 15.6% on day one and 4.2% on day 30. Q4 2023 experienced significant revenue spikes, with November up 34% and December up 22%.
The report covers installs, sessions, retention, cost, revenue, and click-through rates, along with regional and subvertical data. It also provides proven strategies for user acquisition, engagement, and revenue growth, emphasizing the need for next-gen tools like digital wallet transactions, AI, VR, and AR to enhance user experiences.
Brazil's 2025 sports betting regulation offers huge mobile opportunities. Companies must prioritize user-friendly apps, local insights, and security. An MMP is essential for accurate attribution, fraud prevention, and ROI optimization to succeed in this competitive market.
Halloween boosts app usage across gaming, shopping, and entertainment. Marketers can leverage themed visuals, ASO, in-app events, and omnichannel campaigns to drive growth and re-engage users.
Next-gen campaign optimization combines attribution, incrementality testing, and MMM for holistic insights. AI-driven tools like pLTV and deep linking automate analysis, reduce waste, and improve ROI. This scalable, privacy-compliant approach future-proofs marketing success.
E-commerce app installs grew 25% YoY globally in H1 2024, with LATAM and MENAT surging. Day 1 retention averaged 18%. Global IPM increased to 2.25, eCPM to $1.87. Marketers diversify partners and channels.
A/B testing on Google Play and App Store optimizes app listings. Google tests icons, descriptions, graphics; Apple tests icons, screenshots, videos. Both improve conversion and retention but have limitations like single-variable focus and lack of post-install data. Adjust enhances analysis with attribution and analytics.
Google Play's premium growth tools let qualifying apps create extra custom store listings and promotional content to boost visibility and engagement through targeted, timely offers.
Deep linking boosts sports betting app growth by directing users to specific content, reducing drop-offs, and improving attribution across multi-device campaigns.
Japan's finance app category is outperforming, with H1 2026 installs up 8% YoY and sessions up 40%—nearly 5x the install growth and well ahead of global figures (5% and 29%). Stock trading is the standout subvertical: installs +90% YoY and average session length climbing to 11.7 minutes, driven by NISA reforms and a retail investor resurgence. Retention is improving across the full 30-day curve (D1 17% to 19%, D30 7% to 8%). For ad ops teams, the takeaway is clear: prioritize measurement depth, re-engagement, and channel-level quality over top-of-funnel volume alone.
