A report from mobile-app analytics company <keyword id="1646890" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="App-Annie">App Annie</keyword> has placed India at the fourth rank when it comes to largest <keyword id="3475737" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="app-economies">app economies</keyword>, while adding that Indians have also rapidly increased the amount of time spent on apps. 
 
When it comes to the number of total app downloads per year, India is behind only China, US, and Brazil, with the number set to grow by 92% and reach 7.7 billion downloads by the end of this year. This number would further reach 20.1 billion by 2020. 
 
In comparison, China, which is ahead of India, has a slower growth rate expected this year; however, the absolute figure would still be more than six times more than that of India. 
 
"With the introduction of affordable smartphones and better infrastructure supporting mobile, and given India's population, the growth here is expected to be significant," Junde Yu, MD of App Annie APAC, told <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/software/india-is-worlds-fourth-largest-app-economy-report/articleshow/53092793.cms">TNN</a>. He added that the most important thing driving the app economy as of now is not the number of downloads or the revenue; rather, it is the amount of time users spend on these apps. 
 
The amount of time spent by Indians on apps in the first quarter of 2016 grew more than twice when compared from the first quarter of 2014. While retail apps saw the time spent growing by 11.5 times during the same period, video-streaming apps saw it growing 7.4 times.

"India is the fastest growing large economy in the world, with an enormous population, favourable demographics and high catch-up potential due to low initial GDP per head. It is therefore all but certain to continue to rise in the global GDP league table in the coming decades." According to PwC, the global economy is expected to slow in 2019 as G7 countries return to long-run average growth rates, "The global economy enjoyed a mini-boom between the end of 2016 and early 2018, when growth picked up in most major economies. This phase is now over, and in 2019 we expect the G7 economies to return to growth rates close to their long-run averages," the report said. India is likely to witness an economic growth of 7.6 percent in 2019 whereas UK will settle at 1.6 percent if the country manages to deal with the no-deal Brexit in March. Moreover, India is also going to move up from seventh to the fifth position in the coming years, reported Reuters<a href="https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-economy-rank-idUKKBN1OI00L"> citing</a> the PwC projections on global economic trends. On the flip side, the UK, which was estimated to be the fifth largest economy in the world in 2018 by the IMF will move down to seventh place in the rankings, behind India and France. The prediction warns about the challenges that Britain is going to face once it steps out of the European Union. However, the government of the UK has assured that it will be a global leader once the make an exit from EU.

India To Become World’s Second Largest Internet Population
By Mid 2014

NEW DELHI: India has displaced <keyword id="6355311" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Japan">Japan</keyword> to become the world’s third biggest <keyword id="34412" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="economy">economy</keyword> in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP), according to a <keyword id="6354424" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="World-Bank">World Bank</keyword> report released on Tuesday. 
 
The 2011 round of the bank’s International Comparison Program (ICP) ranked India after the US and China. The last survey in 2005 had placed the country on 10th place. 
 
PPP is used to compare economies and incomes of people by adjusting for differences in prices in different countries to make a meaningful comparison. India’s share in <keyword id="524625" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="world-GDP">World GDP</keyword> in terms of PPP was 6.4% in 2011 compared with China’s 14.9% and the US’ 17.1%, the latest ICP showed. The survey covered 199 economies. 
“The United States remained the world’s largest economy, but it was closely followed by China when measured using PPPs. India was now the world’s third largest economy, moving ahead of Japan,” the report said. 
 Despite high inflation in India in recent years, prices in the country are still well below those in advanced economies, explaining the higher raking for India on the PPP measure. But according to the <keyword id="6366068" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="INTERNATIONAL-MONETARY-FUND">International Monetary Fund</keyword> (IMF), India’s economy is 12th largest and only about a third of Japan’s in terms of absolute unadjusted dollars. “The economies with the lowest prices are either in Africa or Asia and the Pacific and include India, which has the third-largest economy,” the report noted. 
 “Because economies estimate their <keyword id="35050" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="gdp">GDP</keyword> at national price levels and in national currencies, those GDPs are not comparable. To be compared, they must be valued at a common price level and expressed in a common currency,” the report said, giving out the rationale for the PPP adjustments. 
 
 
 
For example, people in a country with higher average per capita income may not necessarily have a better quality life than a country with lower average per capita income. 
 
This makes it a good tool to compare poverty levels across countries. 
 
“One major use of PPPs is poverty assessment using the World Bank’s international poverty threshold of $1.25 per day per person. National poverty assessments differ because the purchasing power of national currencies differs from one economy to another,” the report said. 
In terms of per capita GDP, even in PPP terms, India ranks very low at 127 in the 199-country ranking. 
 
“The largest economies were not the richest, as shown in the ranking of GDP per capita. The middle-in­come economies with large economies also had large populations, setting the stage for continued growth,” the report noted. 
 
In the latest ranking, India’s economy was 37.1% of the US economy compared with 18.9% in 2005. 
The report said in terms of spending power, the differences have come down. 
 
“The spread of per capita actual individual consumption as a percentage of that of the United States has been greatly reduced, suggesting that the world has become more equal,” it said but cautioned some of this could be due to changes in the methodology.

India Displaces Japan To Become Third-Largest World Economy In Terms Of PPP: World Bank

<ul><li>India is expected to overtake Germany to become fourth-largest economy in 2026. </li><li> It further said India is also set to reach a gross domestic product (GDP) of USD 5 trillion by 2026, 2 years later than the government's target. </li><li>Japan to become third largest in 2034.</li></ul>India is expected to overtake Germany to become fourth-largest economy in 2026 and Japan to become third largest in 2034, according a recent report by the UK-based Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR).
 It further said India is also set to reach a gross domestic product (GDP) of USD 5 trillion by 2026, 2 years later than the government's target.
 "India has decisively overtaken both France and the UK to become the world's fifth-largest economy in 2019. It is expected to overtake Germany to become fourth largest in 2026 and Japan to become the third largest in 2034," the report, titled 'World Economic League Table 2020', said.
 Japan, Germany and India will battle for third position over the next 15 years, according to the CEBR.
 Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government's target of taking the economy to 5 USD trillion by 2024, it said, "India is also set to reach a GDP of USD 5 trillion by 2026 - 2 years later than the current government target."
 But, dark clouds gathering all over the economy are leading many to question the maintainability of the target.
 Recently, former Reserve Bank governor C Rangarajan, said that at the current growth rate, reaching the USD 5-trillion GDP target by 2024-25 is "simply out of question".
 Noting that Indian data revisions mean that 2019 was the year when the country's economy finally overtook the UK and France, the report said, "But, slow growth during the year has increased pressure for more radical economic reforms."
 Despite the rapid ascent of countries such as India and Indonesia, it is striking how little an impact this will have on the US and China's dominant roles in the global economy, said Pablo Shah, senior economist at Cebr.
 India, which till recently was hailed as the world's fastest-growing major economy, has seen growth rate decline to a six-year low of 4.5 per cent in the September quarter of 2019-20.
 This has largely been attributed to the slowdown in investment that has now broadened into consumption, driven by financial stress among rural households and weak job creation.

India is expected to overtake the US as the second-largest <keyword id="390059" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="smartphone-market">smartphone market</keyword> next year with robust annual growth, says a Morgan Stanley research report. According to the report on global technology and telecom, the country's <keyword id="28168" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Smartphone">smartphone</keyword> market will grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23 per cent through 2018 and would account for 30 per cent of the global growth during the period. 

	"We expect India to overtake the US next year as the second-largest smartphone market by units. India will grow nearly five times faster than the world's largest smartphone market China, where growth has decelerated," the report said.
 

	It added, "We estimate a 23 per cent CAGR in units in India, compared with 5 per cent over the same period in China. By 2018, we estimate 192 million smartphones will be shipped to India, or 11 per cent of global units."
 

	Morgan Stanley said there are only 225 million smartphone subscribers in the country, accounting for 18 per cent of the total population.
 

	"The improvement in demographics, as measured by declining age dependency, has been one of the most important factors supporting higher potential growth in India... We expect consumption to maintain a relatively high growth rate, driven by an increase in per-capita income growth and an emerging middle class," it noted.
 

	On consumption of data, the report said the country is on the cusp of significant growth in data traffic driven by rising data users as well as growing data usage per user.
 

	"We expect India's internet penetration to reach 50 per cent by 2018, up from 26 per cent last year, driven by rising smartphone availability and affordability, online content and changing user behavior," it said.
 The global consultancy estimates <keyword id="1948108" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="4G-smartphones">4G smartphones</keyword> will account for 75 per cent of 170 million shipments by the next year, which currently has less than 1 per cent subscriber penetration in the country.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">AP Photo/Andy WongA man walks by electronic display panels advertising a video footage of Chinese President Xi Jinping speaking at the World Economy Forum on a street in Beijing, Monday, June 25, 2018.</div></div></div><ul><li>China's growth potential could slow to 4.5% by 2030, according to analysts.</li><li>Officials have shifted to stimulus programs, from tax cuts to infrastructure incentives, in an effort to curb the decline. </li><li>But that could become increasingly difficult against a backdrop of debt and in wake of the trade war with the US, which has demanded structural reforms to the Chinese economy. </li></ul>China's economy is growing at its slowest pace in nearly three decades, and some economists say the worst is yet to come. Growth potential in China is expected to slow to 5.5% from the current level of 6.5% between 2021 and 2025, according to new estimates from analysts at JPMorgan. That could fall to 4.5% by 2030, a pace that could make it difficult to surpass the US as the largest economy. "This means that China will remain the second largest economy much longer than expected," the analysts said in a research note Wednesday. "The transition to slower potential growth could be volatile and requires balancing reforms to move to a more domestically driven growth model with deleveraging and public-sector restructuring."Officials in Beijing have sought to shore up confidence through a series of stimulus measures rolled out in recent months, including tax cuts, changes to the amount of cash banks must hold as reserves, and various incentives to boost spending.But those programs could have little room to expand in an economy that has struggled to crack down on relatively high levels of debt in recent years. In 2018, China's debt-to-gross domestic product ratio climbed above 250%.It could also become increasingly difficult to stave off a slowdown as an ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing adds to uncertainty. Trump administration officials have pushed China to pursue structural changes as part of any trade deal, including reducing state support for industrial programs and violation of intellectual property rules. Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of duties on products from the US and China likely won't help, especially considering much of China's rise over the past decade has been a result of trade expansion. On Wednesday, the Commerce Department said the US trade deficit with China narrowed in November. But the decline was likely in part the result of increased volatility of trade flows in recent months as businesses adjust to protectionism, according to Moody's economist Adam Ozimek."It's important not to read too much into month to month fluctuations, even more so than normal," he said. "Regardless of short-term developments, you can't tariff your way out of a trade deficit."While tariffs might not influence the trade balance in a meaningful way anytime soon, their effects are showing up in business activity, said Center for Strategic and International Studies scholar Scott Kennedy."The tariffs are finally biting and reducing trade in both directions, which hurts producers and consumers at least in the short term," he said. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-airline-shuttle-transportation-pan-am-eastern-new-york-2019-1">The rise and fall of Donald Trump's $365 million airline</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
