Mobile App Marketplace: $17.5 Billion by 2012. According to a study commissioned by mobile application store operator GetJar, the mobile application market will reach $17.5 billion by 2012. By then, the number of mobile application downloads will have also grown to nearly 50 billion from just over 7 billion in 2009. Although those numbers may seem high, they line up with other estimates, such as those previously reported by analysts at both Gartner and research2guidance. The GetJar study, run by independent consulting firm by Chetan Sharma Consulting, noted that over the past year, the number of app stores grew from 8 to 38 and that there are even more in the works.

Apple's iTunes store leads the way with a reported 150,000 mobile apps and 3 billion downloads to date. However, as Getjar founder and chief executive officer Ilja Laurs told the BBC, feature phones should not ignored either. Just the Stats: Here are a few other highlights from the report (via Paid Content and TechCrunch): Analysts Agree: Apps are Big Business by 2013. App Stores Are Big Business: $7 Billion in 2010. According to the analysts at research firm Gartner, mobile application stores are expected to generate revenues of nearly $7 billion over the course of this year. That figure is a combination of the $6.2 billion spent purchasing the mobile applications themselves combined with an additional $.6 billion generated through advertising revenues from in-app ads. Not surprisingly, Apple dominates this market, accounting for 99.4% of the market as of last year, states the report. Over the course of 2009, mobile application download revenue exceeded $4.2 billion, with eight out of every 10 apps downloaded offered free to end users, says Gartner.

Going forward, the analysts predict mobile application stores' revenue will grow to $29.5 billion by the end of 2013. That revenue, again, will be a combination of paid applications and free applications running ads. 3 Billion in Apple App Sales? Gruber notes that Apple didn't actually announce 3 billion in sales, they announced 3 billion downloads.
