Fifteen years ago the first iPhone hit the market – it’s safe to say the mobile industry has changed substantially since then. While there’s no crystal ball for what the future of mobile really is when you’ve got the experience that the Shockoe team has you have a pretty good eye for what’s to come.

Our latest eBook dives into the trends we expect to see take off across industries like grocery, retail, manufacturing, and environment, health, and safety (EHS.) No matter what industry you’re in these trends in mobile are bound to reshape the way you do business:

Stronger emphasis on data privacy

Users are demanding more control over their data, while at the same time countries are tightening data privacy laws. Data privacy will play an important role in mobile as companies move from reactive data privacy policies to a proactive stance that protects users’ data.

The rise of blockchain

While it is just beginning to emerge in mobile, blockchain allows for increased security and data control for users and can keep data safer when it is shared. Blockchain might not change the end-users experience on an app, but it will serve as a new way to transmit and secure data.

Increased access to 5G

Now more than ever users are connecting to the internet from anywhere, but for many in rural areas faster speeds are still a challenge. With investments from governments and businesses to expand 5G access mobile apps will have a chance to perform better for anyone using them. 

Welcome to the metaverse

With its focus on the virtual world and augmented reality mobile apps will have the chance to evolve to keep up with changing user needs. We expect to see more mobile apps tailored to immersive experiences. 

Creating a seamless experience 

There will be an even stronger push for seamless digital experiences, where users can interact with your business across platforms and devices without missing a beat. Companies will need to prioritize creating a streamlined, easy-to-navigate experience to keep users engaged.
