Quantitative methodology and variance structural equation modelling forms the data analysis technique for this study.

Specifically, the study intention is to illuminate the retailers and other stakeholders to invest positively on mobile app market segment and to optimize their mobile app strategy for the betterment and advancement of their business especially in getting more revenue from the mobile app segment.
