India Records 25.5 Billion App Downloads

India recorded 25.5 billion app downloads in 2025, rebounding from 24.6 billion in 2024 and retaining the world's top download volume. The recovery was driven by rapid generative-AI adoption—602 million downloads—and growth in short-form microdrama apps, while in-app spending remained low and India contributed under 1% of global AI app purchase revenues.
