Previous month Android 6.0 Marshmallow surpassed the 1% mark in Google market share. It firstly grew double fold in December. As a matter of fact, 2.3% of Android devices are running Marshmallow. This is 100% growth from the previous year and soon the market will have double digit.

Android Marshmallow and Lollipop are experiencing growing market share

Lollipop is currently the version that is widespread in the OS. It has diminished the share of KitKat to 34.3% from 36.1%. While Lollipop has increased its share by 2%, but the KitKat has lost 12% of the whole market share and it is likely to fall more.

Jelly bean is currently operating at 22.3% market share, Ice Cream Sandwich is as low as 2.3%, while Gingerbread is still running on various devices at 2.6% and Froyo’s is still in the market with 0.1% of the market share.

In next few months, more device will embrace Marshmallow so there is a fair chance of growth of this version of Android. So all the other Android versions will soon retire but incredibly slowly.
