• Large market

Given the fact that unlike iOS, Android OS is available on devices from numerous brands and types, developing Android apps means developing for a greater market. Android devices tend to be more affordable than iPhones, so over the past 5 years, Android managed to steadily retain a global market share of 70-80%. This means that an android developer can develop apps for over 2.5 billion monthly active users.

• Google Play Store (and other platforms)

Developing products for the Android platform doesn’t only mean doing it for Google Play Store. Android apps can be deployed by Amazon Appstore, AppGratis, MoboMarket and other third-party app marketplaces. If you sum up all the profits Android OS makes from all the app stores, you’ll get a number close to what Apple makes.

Other advantages of Google Play Store include almost immediate app deployment to the store once it has been developed; the ability to download apps directly to the developers’ mobile devices for testing for free, and releasing alpha and beta versions of apps for specific groups of users. All of these make the process of bug fixing and feedback reaction much faster and smoother with room for fast polishing and updates.

On top of this, once your app development company puts an app onto Google Play Store, your brand is automatically put into Google’s app indexing library, Every click or gesture on the app converts into a click on your landing/home page. The clicks make your app more popular and raise your Google rank.

• Low investments

Android has a relatively low entry barrier and an Android SDK (Software Development Kit) is available to all developers for free. This naturally drops licensing and development costs. The costs for Android app developers essentially come down to testing and deployment of the apps. This in turn means your product will have a higher ROI and turn out more profitable.

• Open Source 

Coming back to the Android SDK, it’s vital to mention that it’s open-source. This means that the entire development community is at your fingertips and all information is free from royalties, licensing and is equipped with the best technology framework. This is one of the main reasons the platform is so popular with manufacturers of mobile devices and TelCo players.

• Integration with social media

Since Android is on the first-name basis with Google and is an essential part of the giant’s many services, like the world’s most popular email service – Gmail currently owns 43% of the email service market share – Android apps are very easily integrated with social media and most of them give users the ability to log in through their Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts directly into the app.

• IoT

The Internet gets smarter and faster, allowing us to connect and employ more and more devices to make our lives easier. The Internet of Things technology is opening doors for android app developers to create software that will help in industries such as healthcare, education, logistics and e-commerce. There is so much potential in wearables, interactive learning and smart cities that IoT is definitely one of the trends in android development in 2020.

• Chatbots

The vitality of more and more services is now relying on the instant support the business provides. Chatbots are one of the top trends in software development as they lower the workload for humans, reduce the operational costs and optimize the support time. Since 56% of people would rather send a message than call customer service and 47% of consumers are open to buying items using a chatbot, this technology is definitely something worth looking into and hiring android developers.

• AI and machine learning

AI and Machine learning are already a big part of our lives when we can say “Hey Google” and get information immediately, be it a recipe, driving directions, weather forecast or any specific information available on the interwebs.

• Cloud support 

We often don’t even realize how much easier cloud space has made our digital lives. A lot is being invested in cloud technology because we as a species are accumulating digital content in exponential amounts. Mobile devices get an old fast while we use more connected devices simultaneously and want to keep all of our data at our fingertips. Many businesses choose to hire android app developers to ensure cloud support for their products and services.

• Android app security

Data privacy has become a big topic in this century. The more information we put on our devices, the bigger the risks of somebody unauthorised accessing it. This is why security has been a top priority for Android app developers and who they are constantly expected to implement stronger encryption of data and develop the never-ending security updates.

• On-demand android apps

Another big trend for Android app development lies in the importance of customer service and the constant need for its improvement. On-demand apps are increasingly popular because they respond to customers’ immediate needs and help them navigate the everyday situations like choosing where to eat, what to order, how to get someplace or how to entertain oneself on a given day.
