6. The fashion and eCommerce industry
Shopping has definitely gotten bigger with the help of mobile apps. In fact, a large number of orders on Amazon and other online platforms have been done on mobile apps.

7. The education industry
Due to the pandemic, e-learning has started to pick up and is still growing this 2021.

Mobile apps like Grab or DoorDash have definitely grown due to the pandemic as the demand for delivered meals sees no stop. Even companies’ individual mobile apps have also brought in a new wave of consumers as ordering becomes more convenient.
9. The retail industry
Customer service, as well as operations, are very important and this is why the retail industry usually has its own app in order to take care of their customers. Mobile apps have become more useful compared to emailing the company and waiting for the response. Since mobile apps could provide an instant interaction and are very easy to use, most large, small and medium enterprises already have their own apps.
10. The logistics industry
Tracking a package has become much easier with the use of mobile apps instead of logging onto the company website or having to send an email. The logistics industry has definitely become more accessible with the use of mobile apps. From flight trackers, shipment trackers, and other tracking apps, there are even more coming in that help improve both consumer and business to business transactions.
Final Word
Mobile app development has worked for large industries and is now becoming really important for small and medium enterprise as well. Digital transformation in 2023 has become more of a requirement for success instead of just an option. Although not a hundred percent guaranteed, mobile apps have proven themselves beneficial for a number of sectors within almost every industry.
The digital transformation this 2023 has already started to take off and although the mobile app industry itself has gained quite the competition, there is still room in the mobile app industry for more. Mobile app development has become extremely important when it comes to digital transformation due to this being the key bridging traditional business to modern businesses.
With almost everything becoming electronic, online, or anything related to technology, the demand for mobile app development has also increased. This is why for those planning to make their own mobile apps, it is very important to find a developer that is both capable and also passionate about creating that perfect mobile app.
While those mobile app development companies have dozens of high paying clients, it would be hard to get them to develop the right mobile app with their full attention. Getting a smaller but more committed company would not only increase the chances of success for your mobile app but also put the whole development in good hands.
