Q4 Digital Market Index: App, Ads & Web Data

2026年2月26日·3 分钟阅读

摘要

Q4 2025数字市场指数揭示了数字经济的结构性转变,其中AI成为核心驱动力。生成式AI应用在单季度下载量超过11亿次,同比增长89%,IAP收入达到17亿美元,暴涨212%。ChatGPT成为全球下载量最高应用,并有望在2026年上半年超越TikTok成为美国收入最高APP。值得注意的是,64%的GenAI用户仅通过移动应用访问,较一年前提升7个百分点,ChatGPT、Gemini和Claude的应用独占用户同比增长13个百分点,表明移动端是AI用户获取的核心战场。

游戏市场呈现增长放缓趋势。全球IAP收入同比增长9.6%至434亿美元,但非游戏应用贡献了主要增长(+18%),游戏仅增长1.5%。游戏下载量同比下降10.7%,所有热门品类均为负增长,其中生活和赛车类下降20%。亮点方面,Block Blast同比增长46%,Roblox增长33%,显示头部游戏仍可通过创新玩法保持用户获取效率。

网页生态同样发生深刻变化。YouTube在英、印、日、法四国超越Google成为总访问量最高网站,体现视频优先的信息搜索趋势。AI推荐流量虽仅占总访问量不足1%,但美国同比增长124%,英法超160%,表明聊天机器人正成为新兴的发现和流量渠道。传统Organic Search仅增长3%,而Paid和Social分别增长14%和13%,这意味着依赖SEO的投放策略已显不足,品牌需加大付费投放并提前布局AI推荐流量。

总体而言,Q4数据明确表明AI已从趋势演变为数字经济的全新基础设施,重塑从应用到网页、从广告到收入的每个渠道,品牌与广告主需快速调整用户获取和广告变现策略。

AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek are reshaping web discovery, with traffic surging 86% YoY. Mobile now accounts for over half of global visits, yet desktop dominates engagement.

State of Automotive & Mobility 2026: Chinese Automakers Accelerate Global Expansion as Digital Customer Acquisition Emerges as a New Growth Driver

Automotive advertisers are shifting budgets toward localized digital acquisition as domestic growth slows. In China, premium NEV brands are gaining app users (NIO +25%, Li Auto +31% YoY), exports are NEV-led, and Geely’s overseas ad impressions jumped 572%, with Latin America near 70%. Japan rewards ecosystem engagement: Toyota’s moviLink builds cross-app reach, while BYD’s strong website affinity with Tesla signals in-market EV shoppers. Korea’s EV registrations surged 113.6%, intensifying competition; Hyundai leads ad impressions. India’s premium channels gain traction—NEXA visitors +24%—and premium/EV models shift more impressions to X. Prioritize market-specific channels, audience overlap, and full-funnel measurement.

Creative optimization: Why your best video ad fails as a static image

AppsFlyer’s 2026 creative data shows video and static image ads reward opposite creative qualities, so ad ops teams should plan, budget, and test them separately. Video spend is concentrating: gaming’s top 2% of video creatives captured 60.7% of spend, up from 53.5%, while image spend spread out. Top spenders are testing far more variations, widening the testing gap. Action/Strategy and Puzzle/Lifestyle show format-specific tone and social-proof reversals; Finance is the exception. Teams should use AI-assisted variation, analyze video winners deeply, keep broad image testing, and measure performance at attribute level.

Halloween app trends: Insights for your 2026 campaign | Adjust

Adjust's Halloween 2025 data across six weeks shows the holiday window opens well before October 31 and differs by category and market. Entertainment installs peaked the weekend before Halloween (up 42–44% vs. summer baseline), with OTT/streaming and video content installs up 120% on October 25 and 300% YoY. Photo and video sessions instead spiked on Halloween night itself (+6% global vs. the four prior Fridays; Canada +15%, Germany +13%, U.K. +11%, U.S. +9%, Mexico +7%). Single global send dates miss market-level peaks, so ad ops should time creative, push, and budget shifts per market—especially in Mexico, where activity runs through Día de los Muertos.

Japan’s finance app growth in 2026 | Adjust

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.
