As we know, the 2020 year has been hard for every industry. It had created a great impact on the economic world. Every industry has started adopting a new platform - online where they could easily endorse their products or services and connect with their user base.

The latest and diversified technology has been playing an essential role in this pandemic to enhance the business. However, the software industry is continuously evolving and stays up to date with the latest technological trends. App and software development is the process of developing a program that automates the business process and offers an effective outcome.

Additionally, mobile app development services is the most preferred trend, catering to the needs of any business, irrespective of its size and verticals. Every business is rushing towards this trend to capitalize on it.

However, in this competitive world, it’s not easy to beat your competitors and keep up to date while there are numerous new technology trends coming up every day. But every business owner wants to take advantage of it and take their business to the next level.

Hence, while developing an app or software, you have to follow the given steps:

  • Requirement gathering

Software and app development have made everyone’s life easy. Due to the rise of mobile devices and mobile applications, mobile application development has taken place in every industry.

Therefore, as a business owner, if you are planning to develop an app, you have to consider certain parameters such as screen size, software version, hardware specifications, and configuration.

For example, if your application works seamlessly on every device and has a great user experience, then the consumer is more likely to use the app instead of an unresponsive application. You will find the best practices how to create an app in 2021.

Latest Technology Trends for App Development
 

1. Internet of Things (IoT) App Integration

The rapid growth of integrating smart things in the app results in the need for IoT app development services. The rise in mobile technologies in many industries has created never-ending opportunities for the Internet of Things.

IoT is a network that gathers and exchanges information through intern-connected devices. Both platforms iOS and Android are leveraging this trend.

The emerging IoT-enabled technology is leaving its mark on many industries such as automobiles, smart homes, healthcare, and others. It provides convenience and automated control to users. Therefore, smart home technology is a perfect example of the rise in IoT and android app development services.

The research of Global Data suggests that the IoT market is expected to grow by $318 billion in 2023, out of which, $143 billion will come from software like mobile apps.

As per Statista, the revenue from associated IoT-enabled technologies will grow up to 1.6 trillion by 2025.

Trends of IoT:

  • Smart homes & smart areas
  • Routers equipped with more securities
  • Self-driving cars
  • IoT in healthcare

2. Foldable Apps

What was your first cell phone? Do you remember that? Well, that hardly matters.

Mobile devices have changed the scenario in recent years. There is much demand for touch-enabled display mobile devices.

But in the last few years, touch screens with foldable devices have made their way into the market. Last year, Samsung came up with the first foldable device named Samsung Galaxy Fold. Moreover, other companies such as Huawei and Motorola also made their way among the foldable device names.

The foldable device folds to compress or expand the screen size based on user performance. Therefore, a developer has to consider this screen size while developing an app for foldable devices.

The main focus is that an app should seamlessly adjust its screen size and display as the screen folds or unfolds.
 

3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are evolving in mobile app development. It’s one of the most emerging technologies in mobile applications. Integrating ML into your mobile application, you can easily make your device or product smarter.

When we talk about AI, it has made itself manifest in the form of chatbots. Actually, Siri is a combination of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Many companies have already started implementing AI app development for their projects to decrease operational costs.

Moreover, integrating both AI and ML has increased the demand for eCommerce applications. This will enable users to get recommendations of the products based on their preferences and purchase history.

Future trends of AI & ML:

  • AI automated DevOps through AIOps
  • AI-enabled chips
  • Automated machine learning
  • Interoperability among neural networks

4. Rise of Beacon Technology

Beacon technology is one of the emerging technologies in application development. Many industries such as hotels, museums, healthcare, retail outlets use this technology. You will find Apple’s iBeacons and Google Beacon in the market which has gained huge popularity.

This easy-to-use technology attracts the users instantly that use Bluetooth technology to send signals. This technology gives a major advantage of offering personalized app marketing. Therefore, it’s expected to reach $56.6 billion by 2026.

Future trends for beacon technology:

  • Mobile payments beacons
  • AI-enabled chips
  • Automated machine learning
