Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Scientists discover that the oldest continental crust on Earth is disintegrating - Earth.com
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Literie – ~19,000
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
George E. Smith, Nobel laureate who envisioned digital imagery, dies at 95 - The Washington Post
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Audible – ~550,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
