Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
Literie – ~19,000
Roster rankings: PFF gives an ugly grade to the Browns roster - Dawgs By Nature
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
