The number of downloads of applications from the Huawei AppGallery store doubles in a year
Despite the US government’s sanctions, the Chinese company Huawei continues to develop its own mobile ecosystem, one of the important components of the AppGallery digital content store. Over the past year, the platform has reportedly expanded significantly, including the user audience, the number of registered developers, and the number of applications downloaded by users.
According to online sources, 384.4 billion apps were downloaded from AppGallery in 2020, up 174 billion apps from 2019. Besides, more than 2.3 million developers have already been registered on the platform, which increased by 77% in the reporting period. As for the AppGallery audience, in 2020, it reached 530 million monthly active users.
This impressive growth was helped by the rapid filling of the store with game content. According to available data, the number of games published on AppGallery increased by 500% over the year. It is also worth noting that the platform helped approximately 10,000 Chinese applications enter the global market, which also contributed to expanding the user audience.
It is also noted that the geography of the platform’s distribution has expanded significantly in the past year. If in 2019 the AppGallery audience consisted of users from 25 countries, then in 2020, the geography of distribution expanded to 42 countries. According to available data, the platform continues to grow strongly in Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
