In the last decade, mobile app development has gone to extensive heights. The increased use of mobile devices has positioned it to be a prominent means to promote business. So here we are going to discuss top mobile app development trends that will dominate 2020.

Mobile App Development Trends to Transform the Technology Space

Blockchain

Nine out of ten government firms are planning to invest in Blockchain Technology for financial transaction management, asset management, contract management, and regulatory compliance purposes by IBM. We have another research by Infosys says that one-third of banks are expected to adopt commercial blockchain in 2018. This proves the demand for security sees no bounds.

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Chatbots, the booster of business productivity, are born out of AI technology. The trend of incorporating AI in the smartphone has already been set by Apple’s Siri. So, by taking a clue, many other companies will now try for a full-fledged AI integration in their mobile applications as well. This tech evolution can help businesses streamline their activities and offer maximum user experience.

Beacon technology

Beacon technology makes it possible. Beacons use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals. So whenever the phone enters a beacons zone, the relevant app immediately receives this signal and provide relevant notifications and guidance for the users. Beacon has immense potential in the marketing landscape. It reduces the path between the users and the companies. Big industries like hotels, museums, and healthcare have already installed beacons in their services.

Internet Of Things (IoT)

An interconnected network of smart devices is known as Internet of things (IoT), and everyone knows how essential it is to connect smartphones with wearable gadgets. Therefore IoT includes a number of savvy gadgets that have sensors, special circuits, and inbuilt software in them. Nevertheless, this software is nothing but a software application which can work together with mobile applications.
Thus, with the increasing number in IoT gadgets and systems, the demand for IoT enabled mobile apps will undoubtedly increase.

Cross-Platform

Developing cross-platform apps save time and works and hence frameworks and app development platforms like Google's Flutter are pretty appealing to the app developers. The flutter SDL is open-source and improves the feature of mobile apps while making it simple for the app developers to develop an app that can run on both iOS and Android platforms.

AMP

AMP(Accelerated Mobile Pages) will enable the developers to develop rapidly loading pages of websites and mobile apps. This will reduce bounce rates and increase performance levels across various mobile devices.
