that we tend to now think digital, eat digital, and even sleep digital. 
Our day begins with a digital footprint, and ends with leaving a digital 
footprint. In this rapidly growing digital world, let us take a look at 
how the app industry is expected to shape up in the future.
Growth for the App Industry
As far as the app industry is concerned, 2017 experienced an 
extremely steady growth. Nearly all businesses have a digital or 
mobile app that interfaces with the user, lets the user interact with a 
brand, thereby making both the user’s as well as the brand’s life way 
easier. The manner in which digital is progressing, it is but obvious 
that in near future, it’s going to be much more innovative as far as 
the digital space is concerned. In this innovative space, if you are to 
survive as a digital marketer, or a business owner, or even as a 
developer, you have to think outside the box. Creating the next big 
boom in the digital space is the objective of every business owner, 
and the app making and marketing space is no different.
Here’s a quick look at some of the upcoming trends in app industry.
Voice-controlled Applications
Voice controlled speakers and smart homes are going to be the trend 
setters in the space of app development. Though these might appear 
to be the most debated or spoken about subject in this space of 
digital apps, but the coming times is expected to mark a bloom as far 
as this technology is concerned. We cannot overlook the popularity 
that Google Home and Amazon Echo has already garnered, ever since 
going mainstream.
Fact be told, Google Home and Amazon Echo has successfully 
managed to gain more market penetration when compared to 
wearables. In the same space, the tech giant Apple unveiled 
HomePod, and fans are waiting with bated breath for the official 
release of this beauty. We truly cannot wait any longer to make our 
homes go smart and digital!
Smart Home Apps
As predicted by Gartner report, by the end of this year, the mobile 
industry will be bombarded with a whole host of smart home apps. 
These apps would primarily be driven by more than 200 corporations 
that are currently into developing the technology, and waiting 
eagerly to be labeled as the early adopters of the said technology. It 
is time that we witness a sea change in the world of digital apps.
Enterprise Retailing
Another trend to watch out for is enterprise retailing. It is believed 
that enterprise retailers would perform well by looking at how the 
partnership between Google and Walmart is being touted as a smart, 
workable model. Any standardized service or product is bound to get 
on the fast track, with an app that is voice activated.
Conclusion
User behavior online has seen a drastic shift. From long tail phrases 
being typed out on search boxes for getting results to voice search, 
digital has witnessed a phenomenal growth. Keeping this shift in 
search trend on your mind as the top priority, if your business is in a 
position to provide answers to questions, such as ‘send me’, ‘order 
me’, and so on, then a voice-activated app can surely turn out to be 
your need for the day.
