This publication covers the Apple App Store for iPhone, Apple App Store for iPad, Google

Android Market, Nokia Ovi Store, BlackBerry App World, Windows Phone 7 Marketplace

and Amazon Appstore for September 2011. This month’s report focuses on the 2011

best global brands and how they perceive the fragmented app store space. We have

cited the Interbrand 2011 Best Global Brands report as the source for the top global

brands for the purpose of this report.

The major findings are:

Ninety-one percent of the top brands (as defined by the Interbrand 2011 Best Global

Brands report) have a presence in at least one of the major app stores. This is

a significant increase compared to 18 months ago when only 51% of the brands

published or licensed an application.

Brands have realized that publishing applications in the various app stores offers a

viable channel to promote their brand, reach consumers, and for a subset of brands

– sell content. This is especially true of companies in the media, business services,

and automotive industries who actively use app stores as a way to distribute their

content.

Based on the rank of each brand and when looking at brackets of ten applications

at a time, our research reveals that the brands that ranked highest in the 2011

Interbrand Best Global Brands report have more presence in the different app stores

in terms of the volume of applications.

Brands are heavy publishers with 24 applications on average per brand, although

this is biased due to a few large publishers (e.g. Disney and Sony). The number of

applications per brand without these two brands is still high with 15 applications

on average.

Looking at specific app stores, we see that the Apple App Store for iPhone is by far

the most popular app store for the top 100 global brands. Opposed to this, these

brands appear to believe that they do not need to have a presence on the Nokia

(Symbian / Java) platform given the low number of brands (six) publishing on that

platform.

The Google Android Market and the Apple App Store for iPad are both increasingly

seen as good app stores for brands to promote their visibility and reach consumers.

Most brands in the top 100 are not looking to make money in the app stores, as

nearly all of the applications associated with these brands are available for free.

Only a limited number of brands (27% of the publishers with 32% of the applications)

have a strategy to actually make money directly via the app store, including but not

limited to Disney, Adobe and Thomson Reuters.

NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

http://www.bestglobalbrands.com/



There are companies listed among the 100 most valuable brands in the 2011 Interbrand

Best Global Brands report that also own an app store, e.g. Apple, Google, Microsoft and

Nokia (included in this research). For those brands that have their own app store, the

applications in their respective app store have been disregarded, e.g., the presence of

Microsoft in Windows Phone 7 Marketplace is not taken into account. Of the 100 brands,

nine do not have a presence in any appstore with the exception of their own.

MOST BRANDS RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A PRESENCE IN AT LEAST ONE APP STOREBrands have to carefully manage their presence in all channels in order to distinguish

their goods or services from those of their competitors. One would expect brands to be

active in app stores given the continued growth of smartphone use – particularly among

young adults in the western world. Based on our research, the graph below reveals that

nearly all of the 100 major brands as defined by Interbrand have a presence in at least

one of the app stores per our research, e.g. Apple App Store for iPhone, Apple App

Store for iPad, Google Android Market, Nokia Ovi Store, BlackBerry App World, Windows

Phone 7 Marketplace and the Amazon App Store.

THE TOP BRANDS ARE MORE EAGER TO PUBLISH APPLICATIONS

Based on the rank of each brand and when looking at brackets of ten brands, our

research reveals that the brands that ranked highest in the 2011 Interbrand Best Global

Brands report also have more presence in the different app stores in terms of the number

of published applications.

The high number of applications per brand stands out when looking at the averages -

24 applications per brand. This is mainly due to the large amount of applications that

are published (or licensed by) Disney with 628 across all app stores. Another brand that

publishes a lot of applications (and causes the spike in 31 - 40 bracket) is Sony with 281

applications that are mainly linked to movies and music. The graph below shows the top

five most active brands across all the app stores.

We can also observe from the graph that about half of the brands had a presence in an

app store in March 2010, while 91% of the top 100 brands have at least one application

in one of the major app stores today. Moreover, brands now tend to publish more

applications as well – especially within the last six months when a large number of

brand-related applications have been added. This shows that brands are increasingly

viewing app stores as a way to promote their visibility and reach consumers.

Proportion publishing in app store Proportion not publishing

The Apple App Store for iPhone is the largest store in terms of size, and this is also

reflected in the number of brands that are active in this store: 86% of the top brands

have a presence in the Apple App Store for iPhone. The next most popular app store for

brands to publish their applications is the Apple App Store for iPad with 66%, followed

by Google Android Market with 59%, and BlackBerry App World with 26%.

APPLE IS THE APP STORE OF CHOICE FOR BRANDS

Most brands in the top 100 are not looking to make money in the app stores, as nearly

all of the applications associated with these brands are available for free. Only a limited

subset (27% of the publishers with 32% of the applications) have a strategy to actually

make direct money via the app store, including but not limited to, Disney, Adobe and

Thomson Reuters.

The most popular categories that brands have chosen to publish their applications in

are the ‘Personalization’ and ‘Lifestyle’ categories, or in other words, leisure related

categories. Another category where brands have focused their applications efforts is

the ‘Business’ category. This can be explained because companies with a focus towards

software such as HP, SAP and IBM are also listed among the top 100 global brands.

RECAP

This report reveals that the 2011 best global brands have realized over the past 18

months that app stores offer a viable channel to promote their brand, reach consumers,

and for a subset of brands – sell content. This is especially true for media companies

who actively use app stores as a way to distribute their content. The media companies

featured in the Interbrand 2011 Best Global Brands report count 247 applications on

average, per media company listed. Other industries that have embraced app stores are

business services with 31 per company, and automotive with 29 per company. Naturally,

the computer software companies are also active in the different app stores with 36 per

company.

Looking at the app stores, the Apple App Store is clearly the most popular among

brands: 86% of the top 100 brands choose to publish applications for the iPhone, and

66% choose to publish applications for the iPad. However, looking at the growth of

Android and iPad in the past year, brands increasingly adopt a multi-platform strategy.

It should also be noted that nine percent (including Kleenex, HSBC and Burberry) of the

brands do not publish in any app store.

This graph clearly shows that the Nokia Ovi platform seems to be of less importance

for the 2011 top 100 global brands, as the number of brands publishing in the Nokia

Ovi Store is the same for the larger part of the time span covered in this report. The

relatively high number of applications published by brands that are in the Amazon

Appstore (14 applications) is surprising given the store has only been around for three

months. Only 25% of the applications that brands offer in the Google Android Market

are also available concurrently in the Amazon Appstore. A quick win for these brands

would also be to publish their app in the Amazon Appstore since it is also an app store

for Android.

GOOGLE ANDROID MARKET IS GAINING GROUND WITH BRANDSThe Google Android Market is closing in on the Apple App Store for iPhone in terms of

the number of available applications. This can also be seen when looking at the number

of available brands who have started to publish on the Android platform over time. The

remarkable growth of the Apple App Store for iPad also stands out.

Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store

marketplace filled with equally fragmented information and statistics.

Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores

have clearly shown since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution.

The app store model offers an enormous opportunity for developers to get their content

out and dramatically improves content discovery by consumers. However, the mobile

market has long been characterized by fragmentation, which is also displayed in the

wide range of mobile application stores that were launched from 2009 on.

Distimo is a privately held company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Learn more:

About Distimo

Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store

marketplace filled with equally fragmented information and statistics.

Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores

have clearly shown since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution.

The app store model offers an

enormous opportunity for developers to get their content out and dramatically

improves content discovery by consumers. However, the mobile market has long been

characterized by fragmentation, which is

also displayed in the wide range of mobile application stores that were launched from

2009 on.

Distimo is a privately held company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Learn more:
