Around the world, smartphone-carrying consumers downloaded more than 175 billion apps last year, on which they spent over $86 billion.

An annual report by measurement agency App Annie attributed much of the growth to rapid adoption in China, India, Russia, & Brazil, MediaPost reports. In fact, India actually surpassed the United States in terms of total app downloads last year. Both the US & India trailed China by a comfortable margin.

On average, US users downloaded 3 apps per month last year, with more than 70% downloading at least 1 per month.

Worldwide, consumers downloaded 60% more apps in 2017 than in 2015 — which equates to nearly 2 apps downloaded every month by each person on the planet.
