Top 20 Industries Being Disrupted by On-Demand Apps

blog_img
If you are born in or before the early 90’s, you may remember the most popular ‘Snake’ on Nokia 6110. Do you know it was a mobile gaming app?

“It all started with those small arcade games, ringtone editors, calculators, desktop themes, calendars we loved installing on our mobile handsets to keep the display more attractive and play games in our free time.”

Today, those little black screens have been replaced by huge, vibrant multi-touch display,the 21-key inputs have now turned into a single key with 1334×750-pixel resolution at 326 ppi 1400:1 contrast ratio (typical), proximity sensor, fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating.

Presently, there are around 1.6 million apps on Google Play and 1.5 million apps in Apple App Store.

Mobile apps have made a headway in the service industry with the introduction of on-demand apps. The first-ever was Apple’s iTunes that provided music on demand, then came Netflix streaming television shows and movies on viewer’s demands, Amazon Kindle to deliver on-demand ebooks to readers, Spotify offering subscription-free music on-demand to listeners, Uber providing on-demand transportation and then it never stopped. The list is endless now.

Each day, we hear about a new on-demand service app. Mobile apps are no more built for user’s entertainment like before but to serve a societal purpose, to solve a real-time problem that users face in everyday lives.

Interestingly, on-demand apps are an amazing concept for making money. For each service you provide to the user, you charge. And since it’s on mobile, you are accessible to most people across the world.

Regardless of the industry, on-demand apps have taken the world by storm.
Believe me, this isn’t overvalued. These services really deserve a bravo!

Cheers to the brilliant amalgamation of technology and business. Life was never this easy.

This on-demand disruption is not going anywhere for another decade; people will love you more if your services solve their problems and give them comfort.

If you want to become an on-demand app owner, you are sure to celebrate what you’ll have. So, it’s time to be happy because we will give you 20 reasons for that. Here’s a rundown

1. If you have a transport business

Most people hate it when they have to take up a public transport to reach office or to a meeting or a party. Just because they don’t drive or there is no vehicle available around, they have to suffer. But you are a transport company and you can let people take a sweaty and smelly journey in a crowded bus. You can start your own private cab service in your city to pick and drop people on their demand. Besides everyday small cabs, if you provide charter vehicles like omnibus, charter van, it’s a thumbs-up for you. Get a mobile app built for your business and provide people the comfort of travelling. And you enjoy more customers, thereby making more money.
