46% to 35.2 billion over the same period, driven by the maturation
of key Western markets and Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities in China.
Third-party Android app downloads will grow 158% to
80.3 billion, driven primarily by China, where
Android smartphones continue to gain traction in smaller cities.

The fourth industrial revolution is happening now. When talking about the development of the country's economy as a whole, it is convenient to draw a parallel with the third industrial revolution, when electricity appeared. The Internet will affect all industries in the same way that electricity once did. It is already penetrating all industries and automation processes.

In five or six years, in our opinion, the Internet economy will become a full-fledged component of the country's GDP. The very opposition between "digital" and "traditional" economies will disappear, and the term "Internet-dependent markets" that we have been using so successfully will lose its meaning, because most markets and economies will by that time be "Internet-dependent" by definition.

— What are the main directions of development of the RuNet economy?
All segments of the RuNet market continue to grow, with the exception of media advertising and search engine optimization. Some segments, such as e-commerce or video advertising, are growing faster than we even predicted a year ago. However, it is quite difficult to talk about any priority direction of development now.

At the same time, there are great opportunities for growth in all segments of the digital economy. Even if we take the largest segment by volume - online retail, its volume is only slightly more than one percent of retail sales, while in the US and UK - more than 10%.

As for stimulating the development of the Internet segment in terms of the economy, a whole set of existing measures and mechanisms are purely theoretical in nature and are unlikely to be applicable in the current economic conditions. But there are those that are quite viable in the current conditions of development of the Russian economy.
