Role of Big Data in Mobile Application Development Industry

From a time when we used to get information by processing data, we have reached a stage where the output is still information that is desired by the user but the input has grown very large in scale – from data to BIG DATA. Data is now fast becoming another sort of raw materials be it any kind of industry, mobile application development being no exception to this point. For example, mobile application development companies in Singapore analyze various patterns of massive size that are provided by the users of their mobile apps. Big data helps in the development of secure mobile application development also.

In another 2 to 3 years, we can expect that the number of mobile apps being downloaded to grow to 258 billion. It is quite an amazing and astonishing figure. With the kind of user base (that grows every moment) the data that these apps, be they Android-based or targeted towards iPhone, will be producing is bound to be enormous. In the future, the word Gigabyte might fade into history like Kilobytes of yesteryears. We shall be dealing with yottabytes (280 bytes) of data. Though we might be staring into a bright future, yet there is a problem that is visibly clear – this raw BIG DATA is in an unstructured form. This data can contain audio-video samples, chat, or semi-structured data such as JSON or XML files. To analyze and develop this unstructured or semi-structured data is the need of the hour.
