India's App Market Shifts from Downloads to Payments
India's mobile app market recorded $345 million in consumer spending in Q2 2026, a 35% year-over-year increase, according to Sensor Tower. Growth is being driven by generative AI, streaming, and productivity apps rather than gaming, while quarterly downloads have held steady at about 6.3 billion. Wider adoption of digital payments such as the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and digital wallets has reduced friction for in-app purchases, boosting subscriptions and premium services. Sensor Tower data shows OpenAI and Anthropic accounted for nearly 83% of AI app revenue in India during Q2, and non-gaming apps represented 68% of mobile app revenue in H1 2026. Appfigures notes subscription growth continues but at a slower pace after an AI-fueled surge.
