Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) Is Changing 
Web App Landscape
Google AMP-supported web apps load much faster on 
mobile devices and reduce the bounce rate by a large 
percentage. It also benefits publishers with increased ad 
visibility and more visitors. Hence, along with PWAs 
introduced by Google introduced in I/O 2017, AMP will 
certainly be one of the top mobile app development 
trends in the coming year. 
AR & VR 
will show 
some 
magic

mobile app development trends, then Augmented 
Reality(AR) and Virtual Reality(VR) apps will be 
nothing new for you. In 2017, AR & VR  have 
been revolutionary in the gaming and 
entertainment industry. Games like Pokemon Go, 
iOnRoad, Sky Siege and myNav are bright 
examples of AR games whereas VR devices like 
Samsung Gear VR, Google Cardboard and Oculus 
Rift are gaining popularity. 
Artificial

now
As per research from Gartner in 2019, there was a 300% 
increase in investment in artificial intelligence last year 
compared to 2018. Through the use of advanced analytics, 
cognitive interfaces into complex systems, and machine 
learning techs, AI will provide business users access to 
powerful insights never before available to them.
Due to these advantages, big bees like Google, IBM, 
eBay, Facebook have started acquiring startups 
those adept in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning.
Cloud 
driven 
mobile 
apps are 
rising
Today, cloud computing has finally found it’s place with 
mobile apps. Now, we’re seeing powerful mobile apps 
that directly fetch data from the cloud and take 
minimum space in a smartphone’s internal memory.
Google Drive, Dropbox, & OneDrive are only the 
tip of the iceberg. According to a Cisco research report, 
cloud apps drove 90% of total mobile data traffic by the 
end of 2019, and Mobile cloud traffic was 11-fold with a 
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60%.

around the globe. According to Statista, the number 
of connected wearable devices reached 453

million by 2021.
With technology advancement, we can expect 
wearable applications to soon become an important 
part of our everyday lives. 
IoT 
Enabled 
Mobile 
Apps
A network of interconnected smart gadgets is known as 
the Internet of Things. And in 2019, brands like Amazon 
and Google have fully utilized this technology and 
strengthen the competition in IoT by introducing the 
“Echo” line of devices and Google Home Voice Controller 
respectively.
Moreover, Google’s move to acquire wearable company 
Fitbit for $2.1 billion and its collaboration with Nest, a 
Home security camera manufacturer, is an indication that 
the company is moving fast to use IoT technology.
Mobile 
Wallets
Given the ubiquity of smartphones and users’ intent 
towards moving to smartwatches, mobile wallets such 
as Apple Pay and Google Wallet will definitely drive 
purchasing through 2020. Thus, the demand for 
mobile wallet apps will be on the rise throughout the 
next year.
According to a report, the mobile wallet transaction 
value reached $4,296 billion in 2018. And 
by 2022, this value is forecasted to reach a whopping
