Danish Apps to Avoid U.S.-Linked Goods Top Charts as Greenland Dispute Drives Downloads

Market trackers report a rapid surge for barcode-scanning tools that flag product origins in Denmark.

Overview

  • Sensor Tower and Appfigures data show NonUSA at No. 1 in Denmark with Made O’Meter in the top five of the App Store.
  • Appfigures reports a combined 867% week-over-week jump in average daily downloads for the two apps, while Fortune cites a 1,400% user increase for Made O’Meter and about 11,000 January downloads across iOS and Android.
  • Both apps scan barcodes to reveal ownership and country of origin and suggest local alternatives, with Made O’Meter using AI and offering iOS, Android, and desktop access.
  • The surge is linked to President Donald Trump’s renewed push regarding Greenland and related rhetoric around trade and security discussed this week in Davos.
  • Interest is spreading beyond Denmark, with Norway, Sweden, and Iceland among the top markets, and developers indicating an Android release for NonUSA is expected soon.
