JAKARTA - The latest report from Sensor Tower, a mobile app analysis platform, revealed the App Store's revenue last year. Apple's app store revenue is known to have surpassed Google Play Store.
In fact, Sensor Tower said that the App Store's revenue is greater than the combined Play Store and Steam revenue. The App Store's figure reached 52.5 billion US dollars (Rp879.2 trillion) even though growth slowed.
This achievement strengthens Apple's dominance in the global digital market. As reported by 9to5mac, Play Store revenue is only 30 billion US dollars (Rp502.2 trillion) and Steam is only 11.7 billion US dollars (Rp195.8 trillion).
Even though its revenue is far behind, Steam recorded the fastest annual growth of 13 percent. Meanwhile, the App Store only experienced a slight increase of 0.6 percent compared to the previous year.
The total downloads of apps and games in 2025 also showed a different condition. Google Play Store still leads with 42.4 billion downloads, but this number has dropped by 7.3 percent compared to last year.
The App Store only recorded 7.8 billion downloads, down about 5.7 percent from 2024. On the other hand, Steam showed a positive trend with a 6 percent increase in downloads.
For application improvements, the Play Store is the most productive with the addition of 150,000 new games. Meanwhile, the App Store followed with an increase of 11.4 percent or equivalent to 55,300 new games.
The year 2025 is also in the spotlight because iOS users spend more money on apps than games. This phenomenon continues to occur even though the total world gaming time reaches 444 billion hours.
