In a recent study, Apple reported that the U.S. App Store ecosystem generated an impressive $406 billion in sales and developer earnings in 2024. Notably, 90% of these sales accrued without commission paid to the company, particularly benefiting small developers whose earnings surged by 76% over the past three years. The total includes $277 billion from physical goods and services – which Apple does not monetize. The App Store's ecosystem has significantly grown over the years, almost tripling from 2019 to 2024, showcasing its substantial impact on innovation and developer success.
"For more than 15 years, the App Store has created incredible opportunity for app developers, entrepreneurs, and businesses of all sizes," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO.
