where there are only 7 billion people.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile applications in the Enterprise may be a future vision for many companies, but mobile is a vision that is being realized much quicker than many had expected. \u00a0 What does the rise of mobile mean for the enterprise?<\/p>\n<p>The global Enterprise Mobility (EM) market is expected to grow annually by 15 percent every year, eventually reaching $140 billion by 2020. \u00a0By 2020 roughly 10-12 percent of the enterprise IT budgets will be spent on mobility, compared to less than 5 percent today. \u00a0These numbers are based on a <a title=\"Enterprise Mobility Report\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nasscom.org\/nasscomdeloitte-release-study-enterprise-mobility?fg=235321\" target=\"_blank\">report by Nasscom in association with Deloitte<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly,\u00a0<a title=\"Mobile growth predictions by IDC\" href=\"http:\/\/www.idc.com\/research\/Predictions13\/downloadable\/238044.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">IDC is predicting<\/a> that the biggest driver for new IT spending this year will be smart mobile devices, which include smartphones, tablets and eReaders. \u00a0IDC expects that this segment will grow 20 percent and generate 57 percent of the IT industry&#8217;s total growth.<\/p>\n<p>Industries where there are many customer interactions, like in banking, insurance and retail are seeing higher rates of Enterprise Mobile adoption. \u00a0Mobile adoption is expected to also increase in government, healthcare and media.<\/p>\n<p>The move to mobile is being fueled by mobile developers turning out applications for their businesses. \u00a0<a title=\"Frost and Sullivan report on enterprise mobile\"

target=\"_blank\">Frost and Sullivan report<\/a> that 82 percent of large North American businesses have already developed mobile apps for their employees. \u00a0And\u00a0<a title=\"Garter on mobile app development\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gartner.com\/newsroom\/id\/1862714\" target=\"_blank\">Gartner is predicting<\/a> that among in-house development projects, those that target smartphones and
