Educational apps currently make up just 5% of total apps, with 70% coming from foreign sources. While entertainment apps attract more users and clients, analysts see educational apps as a potential profitable market for IT firms as demand increases from parents and the use of smartphones and tablets for learning grows more popular. However, IT firms remain focused on entertainment apps that provide quicker financial returns.
