تأخير الإطلاق والدخول إلى السوق (Market Entry Delay & Time-to-Cash Drag)

3 verified sources

Definition

App Store review timeline: initial submission 3-7 days[6]. Rejections add sequential delays. For subscription/SaaS apps, delayed launch directly impacts Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR). UAE apps targeting healthcare (telemedicine), fintech (payments, lending), or e-commerce must clear regional compliance gates (PDPL, E-Commerce Law, healthcare regulations) before store approval. Manual compliance verification delays resubmission.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: AED 2,300–3,500/week lost revenue per app (assumes AED 10,000/month MRR subscription model). For a 10-day delay (1 rejection + rework): ~AED 3,300–5,000 lost revenue per app. Portfolio of 5 apps: AED 16,500–25,000 annually from launch delays.
  • Frequency: Per app launch cycle (annual or per major version); compounds for portfolio of apps.
  • Root Cause: Sequential rather than parallel compliance review (App Store + UAE regulators); rework loops extend time-to-market; lack of pre-flight compliance automation.
