The Top App Stores in China

In the field of mobile apps, the Chinese market presents both significant challenges and opportunities for app developers. With over 1.4 billion people and a large user base of mobile devices, China has become a lucrative app distribution market.

The absence of Google services and app frameworks has given rise to third-party app stores, which have become the main source of app distribution in China. These app stores are developed by tech giants like Tencent, Alibaba, Huawei, and Xiaomi, offering a variety of applications and services tailored to Chinese users.

In 2010, Google stopped providing its services to China, including the Google Play Store and other Google services. This meant that Chinese smartphone manufacturers would have to develop their own versions of Android. Xiaomi was one of the first Chinese smartphone manufacturers to develop its own version of Android called MIUI. In 2014, Google announced that it would return to China with a new version of Android designed specifically for the Chinese market.
