Keep an eye open for Indonesia, the fastest-growing nation in Adjust’s Global App Trends 2019 report

Indonesia has been ranked as the world's fastest-growing mobile market in Adjust's Global App Trends 2019 report.

The research covers a breadth of data from across the app mobile space, measuring market and user trends across a variety of metrics including app retention, session, time spent and fraud data.

The report utilises a 'Growth Index' to help understand app and market growth. This takes the number of installs per month, divided by the monthly active users for each vertical and country in its dataset. From this, it gives out a 'Growth index' score. the more users that install in relation to the MAU, the higher the score.

Indonesia was rated as the fasted growing market in the world with a 17.62 score. That was followed by Brazil (9.39), South Korea (9.11) and Malaysia (8.23).

Hey, big trender
