8.2
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.
