Meanwhile, daily active users of media and entertainment apps in Europe rose 6% in Q2, which was higher compared to Americas, India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

EMEA countries and the Americas saw the highest number of downloads for video streaming apps.

Gaming apps saw some of the mot notable growth in India where new active users and frequency of usage rose more sharply than the global average (+12% for DAUs and +15% for downloads).

Similar studies have found that usage of gaming apps rose 75% during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Online shopping brands saw a 15% spike in mobile app downloads during the measured time frame. Growth was highest in Europe at 19%.

The global rise in health and fitness apps was a staggering 46%, driven by India (157%) which translated to a whopping 58 million active users.
