IoT Developers Grow 34% Year over Year

The worldwide  developer population will reach 25 million by 2021 Evans Data also predicts.


The number of developers currently creating mobile applications is estimated at 11.9 million, while the number of developers who target Android first is 5.9 milliion, with 2.8 million developing for  iOS as a first platform.
