Key market trends around App development?

When enterprises started jumping on the bandwagon of creating mobile applications, they adopted the tools given by Android, iOS, Blackberry then, and started creating native applications for each platform, thereby increasing the amount of effort needed to create any application. This impacted go-to-market time cost involved, and DevOps i.e. maintaining such applications also become cumbersome.

This challenge was overcome when Hybrid applications (develop once & access any device) came. This means applications can go to market faster, they can be more agile, they can adopt CI/CD.
The devices themselves have become more and more powerful these days, to enable last mile light-weight applications to have high performance irrespective of the fact that they are built native or not.

We are clearly seeing a trend that most of the enterprises are now marrying hybrid app approach. Also, choice of hybrid is much more rampant for B2B or B2E applications where they are giving to employees, partners, etc.

Even B2C applications are moving to hybrid apps as a choice, because they give similar experience with better ROI.
