The Huawei AppGallery store has experienced a really significant increase in the last year. The world's third most popular app store boasts great results - let's take a closer look at them!
Huawei without Google services
Although Huawei was banned by the Donald Trump administration in 2019, the company has been doing quite well on the market for almost two years. The Chinese manufacturer does not give up and creates solutions that allow it to function without Google services, which it does not have access to.
One of such solutions is the AppGallery store, i.e. a replacement for the Google Play application store, which, as it turns out, is quite successful in the international arena.
The distribution of applications last year reached 384.4 billion, which is more than twice as much as in 2019.

The most popular applications were undoubtedly games. This is related to the fact that currently in the Huawei store we can find as much as 500 percent more games compared to 2019.
What's more, over 530 million users around the world use AppGallery within a month.
Huawei is also very successful when it comes to cooperation with programmers - at the moment there are over 2.3 million programmers registered on the platform, which is 77% more than in the previous year.
This is how Zhang Zhe director of Global Partnerships and Sustainable Development at Huawei Consumer Business Group comments on the results
At the end of 2019, there were 25 countries worldwide that had over a million AppGallery users. Now that number has risen to 42 and we are still seeing strong growth […]. It's not just about quantity, and the fact that the number of applications integrated with HMS Core has more than doubled in one year shows that more developers are seeing the potential of Huawei devices to innovate and deliver a better and even more unique user experience.
