Android Apps Statistics - Google Play Store - November 2016


I have been watching Android Apps Ecosystem closely over the years and the growth in this space has been tremendous. There are close to one million developer accounts which have published one or more apps on the Google Play Store.

As of Nov 9th, 2016, a total of 7,273,197 apps have been published on the Play Store. Out of these close to 3.48 million apps have been removed from the Play store for the reasons best known to Google, while approx. 900K apps are shown as not available in your country for the users from the USA or South East Asia region.
