Advertising platform Criteo has announced the launch of Criteo App Install, creating a ‘full-funnel’ mobile solution that gives marketers the ability to reach and acquire new customers, re-engage lapsed ones, and re-target existing customers.
Mobile apps are becoming more and more popular in APAC.
According to Worldpay’s1 predictions, AsiaPacific will lead the way in the global transition to mobile commerce (mCommerce), which is set to become the most popular online channel over the next few years.
Criteo’s Q1 2019 Global Commerce Review saw that mobile transactions account for 75 per cent of all transactions in APAC; with 51 per cent taking place in the mobile app environment compared to mobile web which is 24 per cent.
Given that increasingly more transactions are completed on mobile, this presents a major opportunity for retail shopping apps.
“From eCommerce to mCommerce, how consumers shop is constantly evolving,” said Criteo executive managing director APAC Kenneth Pao.
“The way brands approach shopping should also advance at the same speed to keep up with shoppers. Criteo’s acquisition of Manage allows us to demonstrate our commitment to the fast-growing mobile app ecosystem and expand our app offerings.
“From being one of the leaders in app retargeting and re-engagement, we want to be the best-in-class across the full marketing journey for our adtech solutions – to help brands get noticed, garner traffic, and increase conversion and sales.
“Criteo App Install will help marketers address their full-funnel objectives with maximum efficiency and at scale.”the advertising platform for the open internet, announces the launch of Criteo App Install, which now creates the most powerful independent full-stack mobile solution.”
Criteo’s app traffic findings saw that 32 per cent of users in APAC become inactive in using an app after the first use. 67 per cent of users have five or less app sessions before becoming inactive.
For Australia, 38 per cent of users become inactive in using an app after the first use and 74 per cent of users have five or less app sessions before becoming inactive.
Tapping on Criteo’s existing app retargeting and re-engagement solutions, as well as Criteo Shopper Graph, Criteo App Install can now offer marketers and brands the ability to:
- Increase the number of app downloads, while also increasing user engagement by employing dynamic ads to drive traffic to return to the app.

- Acquire high-quality new users across a massive publisher network outside of the tech giants. • Access quality video inventory from a mobile-first solution.
“Retailers and brands are expected to deliver seamless and relevant shopping experiences across all devices and platforms,” said Criteo sr. director of mobile AMER & APAC Theodoric Leung.
“Apps are now crucial in creating and engaging loyal customers with the convenience it offers for an increasingly mobile-driven population. With the aim of helping marketers achieve higher installs, traffic and sales, Criteo App Install is the ideal solution to help marketers make mobile apps a strong sales channel,”
