2025年移动应用市场预测显示,AI和机器学习将从创新工具演进为移动营销的核心基础设施。随着模型技术成熟,开发者和营销者将大规模采用这些技术,实现更高的投资回报率。Adjust CEO Andrey Kazakov指出,2024年是验证潜力的阶段,而2025年将聚焦于规模化应用,提升精准度与性能。
在数据隐私方面,全球监管环境日益复杂,营销者需采用灵活的策略和技术。Adjust CTO Egor Lukomsky强调,欧盟《数字市场法案》等法规将导致不同广告网络面临差异化要求,促使行业采用多种测量框架和增量解决方案。品牌应积极探索预测性和增量分析工具,以在合规前提下提升营销效果。
传统归因方法因第一方数据受限而难以全面反映营销效果,机器学习模型成为关键替代方案。生成式AI虽能优化创意,但无法解决测量难题;而ML模型通过利用替代数据点,在隐私友好框架下提供用户行为和转化洞察。2025年将是实验与优化这些模型的窗口期,成功者将掌握实时、可操作的归因指标。
替代应用商店的崛起为开发者带来新的收入机会。iOS平台首次出现替代商店,加之网页端商店的普及,品牌可绕过传统应用商店直达用户。Adjust预计,这一趋势将在2025年正式规模化,尤其在欧洲DMA推动下,将改变应用分发与变现策略。同时,行业内并购活动将加剧,美国公司通过收购欧洲本土高绩效应用进入新市场,实现用户基础和区域洞察的快速获取。尽管超级应用模式在特定区域难以普及,但全球化品牌通过收购同价值观应用,可借助AI技术理解多市场用户行为,从而驱动增长。
Puzzle and match 3 games remain a profitable segment, with 9.7 billion downloads in 2024 and 14% YoY IAP revenue growth. Key opportunities lie in LATAM and MENA, where session growth is high. Rising CPI and CPM emphasize the need for efficient UA. Incrementality testing and predictive LTV are critical for optimizing ad spend, ensuring budgets target high-value users. Adjust's tools—Measure, InSight, and Recommend—provide attribution, incrementality testing, and pLTV modeling to maximize ROI.
Scaling a gaming app to 1 million users requires AI-driven user acquisition with personalized creatives and playable ads, cross-platform storytelling, and influencer collaborations. Retention relies on adaptive content, community building, localization, and deep linking for seamless re-engagement. Hybrid monetization combining IAP, subscriptions, and ads with dynamic pricing optimizes revenue. Advanced analytics and predictive insights enable real-time campaign optimization. Decision-makers should prioritize AI and machine learning for UA and retention, implement deep linking for frictionless user journeys, and leverage data-driven monetization strategies to sustainably scale and retain a large player base.
To reduce app uninstalls, focus on user-centric onboarding, consistent value delivery, and optimized performance. Personalize engagement through behavior-based push notifications and in-app experiences. Use proactive communication to re-engage dormant users, and leverage social proof to build trust. Avoid app fatigue by balancing communication frequency. Analyze uninstall data to identify churn patterns, encourage habit formation with streaks or daily rewards, and reward loyal users with exclusive perks. These strategies, supported by MMP analytics, help create an app experience users want to keep.
Ramadan 2025 presents a crucial opportunity for app marketers, with 75% of consumers noticing more ads during the season. Key trends from 2024 include a 28% surge in shopping app installs across METAP, a 126% increase in the UAE, and 18% growth in finance app installs. High engagement windows occur post-Iftar and late at night. Actionable strategies include optimizing campaign timing, leveraging personalization, building omnichannel experiences, and focusing on value-driven promotions. Adjust's measurement tools can help track and optimize campaign performance.
Ultra casual games are emerging as a dominant force in mobile gaming, offering simple, satisfying gameplay and ad-based monetization. They generate significant revenue through high-volume ad impressions, rewarded video, and interstitial ads, with some titles earning $50k-$70k daily. Vietnamese studios lead the market due to cost-effective development and data-driven optimization. For ad ops decision-makers, the key takeaway is the potential for high-reach, low-CPM campaigns in markets like Vietnam, aided by MMPs for accurate attribution.
Karthik Kannan distills deep linking into a practical 4R framework: Remember, Reach, Retrieve, Route. For ad ops teams, the key insight is that campaign context must survive the click-to-app journey. Adjust TrueLink captures link parameters on click; the user is then guided into the app via Universal Links, Android App Links, URI schemes, app stores, or web-to-app flows. On SDK init, the app session is matched and attributed to the click, then link data is passed to the app for routing. Decision-makers should ensure deep link paths, campaign parameters, attribution matching, and fallback journeys are tested to protect measurement and user experience.
The EU's Digital Markets Act is driving major shifts in app distribution by forcing Apple to allow third-party app stores and sideloading on iOS, while alternative Android stores like Samsung Galaxy Store and Aptoide continue growing. For ad ops decision-makers, this opens new opportunities for user acquisition in niche markets, lower fees (e.g., better revenue splits than the standard 15-30%), and flexible monetization. However, privacy and security concerns remain, with platforms like Apple implementing notarization. Marketers should adopt multi-platform strategies, leveraging OEM partnerships and staying ahead of regulatory changes to future-proof growth.
Global app installs rose 13% YoY and sessions 5% in H1 2026, signaling sustained growth despite market saturation concerns. Casual gaming saw a 55% surge in sessions, while e-commerce install day engagement improved across all regions, with North America reaching 1.34 and LATAM 1.4. Finance apps saw installs up 5% but sessions up 29%, underscoring the importance of retention. Ad ops teams should prioritize casual gaming, optimize install day experiences, and prepare for a strong H2 holiday peak, leveraging accurate measurement to allocate budgets effectively.
