In a report on Wednesday, StockApps noted that the market share of Google’s Android mobile operating system has dropped from 77.32% in 2018 to 69.74% in January 2022. While competitors have lost 7.58% of the market share in the past five years, Apple’s iOS has increased from 19.4% to 25.49%.
Although Android is the first choice in most regions, the North American market is dominated by iOS, and the competition between the two major mobile operating systems is fierce.
According to the study, The Share of Android in Asia and the South American continent is 81% and 90%, respectively. iOS’s share of Asia and South America is 18% and 10%. As for the developers of other mobile operating systems, they have a combined share of less than 1% on both continents.
In North America and Oceania, iOS and Android have engaged in close-quarters combat – iOS has 54% of the above two major markets, Android has nearly 45%, and the rest of the developers have again totaled less than 1%.
Finally, it should be noted that although the data does show a significant decline in Android share. But out of 10 mobile devices, Google still holds more than 7. Obviously, Apple still has a long way to go to completely dominate the global mobile device market.
