HUAWEI AppGallery, one of the top three app marketplaces globally, has reached several milestones on its ongoing development – one year on from revealing plans to expand its mobile ecosystem during the Mobile World Congress in 2020.

 

The platform now has 2.3 million registered developers, a 77% increase from last year. In the Middle East and Africa Region, the number of the registered developers has reached above 45,000 by Dec 31th 2020.

Gaming is at the forefront of this expansion, with over 500% more games now available on the platform compared to last year. Huawei customers are the first to experience innovative new gameplay globally, with many launches from the past year, including AFK Arena, Asphalt 9: Legends, Clash of Kings, and many more.

 

The new figures come one year after Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business has unveiled Huawei’s vision to make HUAWEI AppGallery an open, innovative app distribution platform accessible to consumers around the world. Zhang Zhe, Director of Global Partnerships & Eco-Development Business Development at Huawei Consumer Business Group, said the numbers are proof of the AppGallery’s ongoing progress as a truly global app marketplace: “At the end of 2019, there were 25 countries around the world which had over a million AppGallery users.

“It’s not just about quantity, and the fact that the number of apps integrated with Huawei Mobile Services Core has more than doubled in one year shows that more developers are looking to Huawei’s on-device capabilities to drive innovation and provide better and more unique user experiences” added Mr. Zhang.

As part of this strategy, Huawei is also leveraging its expertise in China to help developers worldwide tap into the country’s lucrative app market. Considered a ‘mobile-first’ society, China is home to over 904 million mobile internet users with an estimated app download figure of over 100 billion. HUAWEI AppGallery has helped over a thousand overseas developers penetrate China's growing mobile economy in the last 12 months.
