Mobile Application Development Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Infrastructure (hardware / software / network), labor, rent & utilities, training & certifications, and maintenance & upgradation are the key cost components of this category. Key factors that influence the cost of developing a mobile app include design complexity, platforms supported, features, security, location, and size of the development team. Development expenses are influenced by the complexity of the design, which includes custom visuals, animations, and transitions. In addition, the number of platforms that an application must support is another major pricing factor. Developing an app for both iOS and Android is nearly twice as expensive as creating one for just one platform. The cost of developing an android-based mobile app may take 3 to 10 months of time and can cost between USD 14,900 to USD 119,900, whereas, the cost of developing an iOS-based mobile app may take 3 to 8 months of time and can cost between USD 9,900 to USD 99,900.

North America region dominates the global mobile application development category, holding substantial share of revenue. Growth of the region is attributed to the proliferation of smartphones, rising in-app purchases, and a proportionally greater volume of downloaded applications. The United States is predicted to become a very lucrative market for mobile gaming applications when it comes to in-app purchases, premium mobile games, and a rapidly growing user base of mobile apps. Selecting a service provider that offers the highest level of security and least vulnerability in its tech stack, reviewing the work portfolio of the service provider’s previous projects to check if their expertise matches the requirement, and comparing the development cost of multiple service providers to ensure selecting the most efficient and best optionare some of the best sourcing practices considered in this category.
