United Kingdom follows at 14.9%, with France at 14.5%. Together, the top 3 markets account for 50.2% of automated responses app installs worldwide. Saudi Arabia (14.1%) and Pakistan (10.1%) round out the top 5. Pakistan is the fastest-growing market this month (+4.7pp), pointing to accelerating demand outside the established leaders.
