2026 State of Mobile: AI Moves Mobile into Its Next Phase

2026年1月27日·6 分钟阅读

摘要

2025年移动市场在生成式AI推动下实现全面增长,Sensor Tower《2026年移动市场报告》显示,全球iOS与Google Play下载量接近1500亿次,同比增长0.8%;IAP与付费应用收入达1670亿美元,同比增长10.6%。值得注意的是,非游戏类应用IAP收入首次超越游戏,同比增长21%,显示移动商业化重心正从游戏转向更广泛的品类。用户日均使用时长达到3.6小时(总计5.3万亿小时),同比增长3.8%,表明尽管部分成熟市场增速放缓,但整体注意力竞争仍在加剧。

生成式AI应用成为2025年最大增长亮点。该类应用下载量同比翻倍至38亿次,IAP收入接近三倍突破50亿美元。用户月均使用时长达到480亿小时,相较2024年增长3.6倍,会话次数超万亿次,会话增速超过下载增速,表明AI应用已从获客阶段转向深化用户粘性。Big Tech(如Google、Microsoft、X)加码AI助手以挑战ChatGPT,推动应用场景扩展。

游戏市场连续第三年收入增长,IAP收入接近820亿美元(同比+1.3%),但下载量下降,反映出行业从规模扩张转向效率提升。UA成本居高不下,厂商更注重LTV挖掘与留存运营,通过深度内购和高质量广告格式优化单位经济模型。不同市场表现分化,美国与日本使用时长回升,中国内地下滑,欧洲地区表现不一。

其他行业亮点包括:零售类应用受Temu、SHEIN增长放缓及AI购物助手测试影响,下载与时长下降;食品配送应用超越疫情前峰值,同比增长14%,Uber Eats通过广告投资覆盖了Top 20 QSR品牌的15家;金融类应用中信贷与借贷应用下载量增长18%,而投资与加密货币应用下滑;美国体育博彩应用UA稳定,使用时长增长7%,全球范围内巴西等新市场推动下载量增长24%。

报告强调,在成熟市场中,增长引擎已从用户规模转向用户注意力价值。广告主和开发者需要精细化的归因分析、SKAN框架下的投放策略以及MMP的深入协作,以实现增量提效。贸易摩擦与监管变化(如关税、各地法规)进一步凸显深度市场洞察的重要性。Sensor Tower该报告覆盖10个行业与20余个市场,以交互形式呈现关键数据趋势,为2026年移动营销决策提供依据。

Where European Finance Apps Win or Lose Users

European finance app installs hit 960M in 2025 but grew only 0.4%. BNPL apps grew 40% while crypto fell 35%, signaling a shift to utility.
