Business Standard
|January 22, 2026
India saw 16 per cent of total global downloads of 3.8 billion generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) applications in 2025, according to a report ‘State of Mobile’ for 2026 released on Wednesday by Sensor Tower.
Indian users downloaded 0.6 billion Al apps last year. The numbers represent a sharp increase in India’s share of total downloads across the globe, which was pegged at 11.31 per cent in 2024 and only 10 per cent in 2023.
However, India accounted for a mere less than 1 per cent of the total in-app purchase (IAP) revenues generated by Al apps globally. This reflects that most users and app companies have been offering the service free to users.
