    Shani Rosenfelder, the Head of Content and Mobile Insights at AppsFlyer, and author of the report stated, “Indeed, almost 60% of downloads of apps with marketing spend in 2019 were driven by app install campaigns — up 15% compared to 2018 and almost 30% since 2017.” He added, “The success of native apps has also attracted millions of developers to the stores, creating a hyper-competitive environment. In such an environment, apps must increase their marketing budget to draw attention to their app… The chances of organic discovery of the app are slim to none, so the only way to draw attention to the app is marketing.”
