Danish Apps Top Charts Amidst US Product Boycott
22 Jan
Summary
- Danish apps for boycotting US products surge in popularity.
- Two apps, NonUSA and Made O'Meter, entered the top 10.
- Downloads increased by 867% in the past week.
In a strong display of consumer activism, Danish consumers have initiated a boycott of American-made products. This movement gained significant traction following recent U.S. political rhetoric concerning Greenland, a Danish territory. As a direct result, two mobile applications designed to facilitate this boycott have rapidly climbed the ranks of the Danish App Store and Google Play.
The apps, NonUSA and Made O'Meter, allow users to scan product barcodes and determine their country of origin, subsequently suggesting local Danish alternatives. NonUSA, which specifically targets U.S. product avoidance, has achieved the number one position on the App Store. Made O'Meter has also seen considerable success, reaching the top 10.
Market data reveals a dramatic increase in user engagement, with average daily downloads for these apps escalating by 867% over the past week compared to the preceding seven days. This surge highlights a coordinated Nordic effort to support local economies and express dissent through purchasing power. While the absolute download numbers in Denmark are modest, this trend signifies a powerful consumer-led response.
