The report suggests that customers acquired through in-app ads are more engaged and loyal than from other channels. For instance, in the fintech sector, in-app ad customers open their apps 9 times per month on average, compared to 5.8 times for social media-acquired cust

omers¹. This increased engagement leads to more repeat transactions, drives higher revenue and allows marketers to reinvest back in their business.

“The shift in consumer behavior toward mobile devices has driven the need for a corresponding shift in marketing toward mobile in-app advertising,” Andrey Kazakov, VP of Demand at AppLovin. “Simply put, brands need to meet their customers where they are. The mobile environment is purpose-built to drive performance, making it a natural fit for DTC brands to engage with customers and drive meaningful engagement and retention.”

Nearly 50% of online transactions will occur on mobile devices this year and are expected to reach 62% by the end of 2025. AppLovin’s Consumer Mobile Trends 2024 report provides a framework for starting and scaling in-app advertising, and dives into:

• Shifts in consumer behavior impacting mobile spending. As reliance on mobile devices increases, consumer spending has reached unprecedented levels.
• How mobile in-app advertising delivers untapped scale. Consumer brands can reach over 5 billion global smartphone users every day with mobile in-app advertising -- a scale that rivals any other marketing channel.
• Brand safety as a built-in function of mobile advertising. Mobile apps are subject to app store reviews and guidelines, and in-app ads maintain 100% share-of-voice, thus unlikely to appear next to risky content.

“We’re able to launch, monitor, and optimize our mobile in-app campaigns with minimal effort,” said Marian Bucher, Growth Expert at online shopping platform OTTO. “AI technology excels at pinpointing the right users to grow the volume and average order value of purchases.”
