As we embrace the new year, the tradition of forecasting trends in App Store Optimization (ASO) continues. Yet, ASOWorld has extensively covered projections for the 2024 mobile market landscape in earlier blogs, necessitating that our methodology persistently advances.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become a cornerstone of ASO, influencing various processes from keyword optimization to creative design. In 2024, AI's role in ASO is not just a novelty but a necessity for staying competitive. The key to leveraging AI is understanding its capabilities and limitations, particularly in terms of model training and the quality of datasets.
