Top 10 Android-Crazed Countries; South Korea is Number One

Google has recently conducted a very interesting research to find out how many Android applications are downloaded monthly, which kind of apps are the most popular, when people prefer to download them and in which countries the most active Android fans are located.

The research has shown that about 10 billion apps are downloaded from the Android Market every month. Maybe this number isn’t as big as the 15 billion downloads the App Store has, but we should also take into account that only 3 billion Android apps were downloaded monthly in March and about 6 billion in July, so now the number of downloads has now risen considerably, once again showing that Android is becoming more and more popular.

Among those 10 billion apps games are the most popular ones – 25.6 percent users have downloaded games. 12.2 percent preferred other entertainment apps, 11.17 percent downloaded tools, and 6.45 percent needed different communication apps. Maybe it’s a bit strange, but music, productivity, travel and social apps weren’t that popular.

Google’s research also showed that Sunday 9:00 PM was the most popular time for downloading Android apps, and the least popular time was Monday 4:00 AM (I don’t think this will surprise anyone…).

As for the most “Android-crazed” countries, here’s Google’s list:

10. Norway

9. Netherlands

8. Denmark

7. Israel

6. Sweden

5. Singapore

4. United States

3. Taiwan

2. Hong Kong

1. South Korea

So it seems like South Korea is the most “Android-crazed” country – most of apps were downloaded from there (though we don’t know the exact number). I don’t think it’s a surprise for anyone, since South Korea has a very good Internet connection and Android-based LG and Samsung mobile phones are manufactured there.

Perhaps it’s a bit strange that the U.S. is only the fourth in the list, but I guess this can be explained by the fact that Apple’s iOS is also very popular in the states, so at least half of the smartphone users there download apps from the App Store. I guess it’s also strange that the UK, Germany, France, China and India were absent from the list… Perhaps these countries aren’t as “Android-crazed” as we thought.
