China’s market share surpasses iOS for the first time! Sources say Huawei plans to charge a 20% commission on Hongmeng App Store: cheaper than Apple and Google

News on June 18, according to foreign media reports, Huawei is considering charging a 20% commission on the Hongmeng App Store, which is far lower than Google and Apple.

The report mentioned that Huawei has so far not charged commissions for in-app purchases of non-game apps in the Hongmeng App Store.

For comparison, Apple and Google charge a 30% commission for apps, games, movies or music subscriptions purchased through their app stores.

According to sources, Huawei is discussing a 20% commission with game developers, hoping to reduce commissions to attract developers to make games for its systems.

Currently, some Chinese mobile phone manufacturers charge as high as 50% on in-game purchases for their channel servers.

Statistics show that Hongmeng system’s global share has doubled from 2% to 4%. In the Chinese market, the system's share increased by 17%.

In contrast, Apple iOS fell by four percentage points in China’s smartphone operating system market in the first quarter of 2024.

In addition, Huawei’s rebound in the local market has pushed it to surpass Apple and become the largest device ecosystem manufacturer (including tablets, TWS and wearable devices) in Greater China. In the first quarter of 2024, its market share reached 18%.
