Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store marketplace filled with equally fragmented information and statistics. Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores have clearly shown since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution. The app store model offers an enormous opportunity for developers to get their content out and dramatically improves content discovery by consumers. However, the mobile market has long been characterized by fragmentation, which is also displayed in the wide range of mobile application stores that were launched from 2009 on. Distimo is a privately held company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Learn more: www.distimo.com

Distimo Publication - September 2011
NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

This months publication focuses on the global differences in mobile app stores including content localization (local apps that are only published in one country) and differentiated user preferences around the world. In this publication, the importance of localized content will be analyzed across the major mobile app stores.* The major findings are: Consumers around the world have very different preferences for apps. Globally, an average of 27% of the most popular applications are popular exclusively in one country in the Apple App Store for iPhone. The Nokia Ovi Store has by far the highest proportion of applications published in just one country (29.4%), however the proportion of applications that is popular in just one country is not very different from the other stores. Google Android Market has a higher proportion of content that is uniquely available in one country than the Apple App Store for iPad: 4.9% vs. 3.4%. The United States is the country with the most exclusively published apps: the total number of applications published in the Apple App Store for iPhone in the United States alone is 7,158. The most popular applications in the United States are highly similar to other countries: only 19% of the most popular apps in the Apple App Store in the US are popular in the US only. Content differentiation is most important in Asia: 67% of the most popular applications in Japan are popular in that country only in the Apple App Store for iPhone. The same rings true in China where 56% of the most popular applications in the Apple App Store for iPhone are popular only in that country. Aside from the proportion of locally popular apps per country, there are also blocks of countries that share a high number of overlapping top applications. These blocks are within the same region or share the same primary language in most cases. One of these blocks consists of the US, UK, Australia and Canada. These countries have an average overlap of top applications of 54%, compared to a storewide average of only 33%.
* The analyses in this publication cover the mobile applications stores in August 2011 in the following countries, subject to availability per store: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, South Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States.

The graph above shows the proportion of the total number of available applications per store that is available in only one of the analyzed countries. We must first look at the number of apps per store that are published in one country only (locally published apps) in order to analyze the importance of locally focused content. Aside from the Nokia Ovi Store, a small but significant proportion of all available apps are tailored to one country only in all stores. The Apple App Store for iPad has the smallest proportion of applications that are published in only one country. The proportion of applications in the Nokia Ovi Store that are published in one country only is surprisingly large. The next graph shows which countries are primarily responsible for the share of locally published applications per store, which also explains the high proportion of locally published applications in Nokia Ovi Store.

The chart above clearly reveals that the majority of the locally published applications in the Nokia Ovi Store are published in two countries only: Italy and China. The fact that the Nokia Ovi Store features so many locally published apps in Italy is due in large part to two publishers: 3 and Dada. Together, these two publishers publish over 8,000 applications in Italy, and while they are primarily ringtones and wallpapers, they account for nearly 9% of the complete Ovi catalog. The reason for the high number of locally published apps in China in Nokia Ovi Store is largely due to the publishing restrictions in China in this store. In China, games can only be published through the licensed aggregators KongZhong and Tom Online. Similarly, videos can only be published by the publisher CNR. Together, these three publishers publish 5,845 apps just in China. The distribution of locally published apps in the stores other than Nokia Ovi Store is strikingly similar. In these stores, the UK and US are among the four countries with the most locally published applications in each store, with the US having as many as 7,158 apps that are available exclusively in the US in the Apple App Store for iPhone. The four countries - US, UK, South Korea and Japan - with the most locally published apps are all equal when we look at the Apple App Store for iPhone, Apple App Store for iPad and Google Android Market only. This reveals that the focus of publishers on specific countries is very similar even across stores. Note that South Korea and Japan have been excluded in the analysis of Windows Phone 7 because they were not yet available in August 2011.
FOUR COUNTRIES WITH MOST LOCALLY POPULAR APPS PER STORE

While some publishers publish their applications in just one country as shown above, it is also interesting to see whether there are significant differences in the top applications across countries. To analyze this, we first looked at the proportion of the 100 most popular free and 100 most popular paid applications that are popular in just one country (locally popular apps). By looking at this number, we obtained a view in which countries consumers have a very unique taste in apps and in which countries consumers have a more globalized preference. The results yielded some fascinating facts.*

Looking at the graph above, we see that even though in the Nokia Ovi Store the proportion of locally published apps is much higher, the number of locally popular apps is not very different from the other stores. What is particularly interesting about this graph is the fact that even though the United States has the most locally published apps in the Apple App Stores, when looking at the proportion of locally popular apps this is relatively low: only 22% and 19% of the 100 most popular free and paid apps are popular in the US only in the Apple App Store for iPad and the Apple App Store for iPhone respectively, compared to store averages of 21% and 27%. However, this is exactly the other way around in Russia. Only 0.05% of all iPhone apps are published in Russia only, however Russia ranks third when looking at the proportion of locally popular apps. Note that locally popular apps are very popular, not just in the Apple App Store for iPhone, but also in the other stores in Russia as well. In all stores, China and Japan have the most locally popular apps (no data available for these countries for WP7). Given that we found in our recent report that the download volumes in Asia in the Apple App Store for iPhone in these countries are among the highest, it makes sense to focus or adjust your apps for these countries.
* The following analyses exclude South Korea, South Africa and Brazil. These countries do not have any games in the Apple App Store, and would distort the findings of this study if included.
COUNTRY OVERLAP OF THE TOP APPLICATIONS

We examined whether blocks of countries exist with similar preferences for applications along with the local popularity of apps. To analyze this, we used the Apple App Store as an example. We looked at the proportion of the 100 most popular free and the 100 most popular paid applications that are equal between country pairs. The proportion of top applications in one country that appears in another country as well is 33% on average. However, there are interesting exceptions where the overlap is much higher. These exceptions are mainly based on region or language. The overlap of the top apps of the United States with other countries is shown below.

The overlap proportion of the top applications of the United States with other English speaking countries (Canada, Australia and the UK) is significantly higher than it is with non-English speaking countries. The US has the least overlap with Japan and China, which are the Apple App Stores two most localized countries. The block of English speaking countries is not the only block of countries that share a high similarity in the most popular applications. Other blocks of countries that have a high proportion of the top apps in common with each other are: Mexico and Argentina (overlap 60%), Belgium, The Netherlands and France (average overlap 51%) and Germany, Austria and Switzerland (average overlap 57%). China has a high proportion of overlap of top apps with Hong Kong and Singapore with an average overlap of 25%. This might seem low, however the average overlap of China with other countries is only 16%.
