Asian dominance

This year’s rankings were dominated by Asia-Pacific publishers with 30 companies out of the 52 on the list based in the region.

The US and Japan meanwhile were the most prolific countries when it comes to creating companies that generate top revenues.

App Annie’s list cites the top earners for combined App Store and Google Play revenues from the period between January 1st 2016 and December 31st 2016.

The revenues only include IAPs and paid downloads however, and do not include money generated from in-app advertising or subscriptions outside app store channels.
