In a contrast with Google’s Android open model, Apple Inc. has established its App Store ecosystem as a closed, moderated platform that implies having a single app store only – the App Store, that by January of 2017 boasted 2.2 billion iOS apps. The app store online version users can find the same library of apps they can install via the iOS App Store app, after they find them via Google / Bing search engine search. The other distinctive feature of the Apple’s iOS ecosystem has been locking iOS driven devices (iPhones and iPads) with specific mobile operators. Since the early days if iOS multiple alternative iOS app stores have popped up that required jail-breaking and unlocking devices to be able to install iOS apps outside the Apple’s official App Store. As of 2017 only a handful such app stores exist and the data points to describe each are scarce.

Antony Chang of AppInChina has to say this about the current state of the app’s market in China:

“The Chinese app market’s continuous growth has led to numerous changes over the past few years and we should expect this wave of change to continue through 2018. The most likely changes to keep an eye out for will be continued app store consolidation (Alibaba/Tencent acquiring independent stores), tightening app regulations (local government requiring more documentation) and Google’s re-entry into China (China-specific version of the Google Play Store in partnership with a local tech company).”

All in all, the market for apps in China is huge and should be part of any mobile app strategy. Here are the major app stores in China to consider.

MyApp from Tencent – currently the biggest app store in China, it holds around a quarter of the Chinese Android apps market. One of the features that makes it different from app developers experience with any Western app store is that with MyApp they need to submit a Software Copyright Certificate along with an app for the Copyright Protection Center of China to review and approve and only than the app can be accepted to the store.

360 Market – One of the biggest app stores in China, it claims to have over 600k apk app files, 275 million active mobile and 457 million desktop users, 30 billion downloads. Its development program is also one of the best-translated, the store boasts MD5 detection to provide anti piracy protection.

Baidu – China’s main search engine also has an app store and developer tools, and has recently launched an English-language version. One of the key advantages, beyond size, is that apps are displayed as results by the search engine.

PP Assistant – Android and iOS app store from the Chinese tech giant Alibaba. The store also hosts jailbreaking software for iOS and a news section.

HiMarket – an app store from the Chinese leading Search Engine Baidu.
Oppo Software Store – an app store from BBK Electronics, provides both mobile hardware and software. An app submission to the store implies Software Copyright Certificate submission process.
