Android App Market Growing Exponentially

Google was never inclined enough to give the world the straight dope on total app counts in the Android Market, but other companies such as AndroLib have been happy to pick up the slack. The app tracking site now reports a grand total of 50,031 Android apps in the Market. To be fair, AndroLib is aggregating across all of the Market’s regional sites – you won’t find 50,000 apps in any one Market alone, but it’s undoubtedly a solid sign for the platform.

The number of apps has been skyrocketing as seen when AndroLib reported breaking 30,000 apps just a few weeks ago. 20,000 apps in less than a month makes it game breaking in the industry and this means that the Android Market could well be on its way to give Apple’s App Store a run for it’s money if it keeps growing at this rate.
