This app from the Huawei store already exceeds a million dollars a month in revenue

Huawei is making significant efforts to provide its mobiles with applications and resources so that users do not notice the absence of Google services. They have already stated that they have allocated a billion dollars to develop both the HMS or Huawei's own services and its application store AppGallery But it is after its developer conference of this year when we have known some of the specific data that this store has managed to achieve.A long-distance race, as stated by Huawei, in which they are sprinting as much as possible.

During the developer day, details of the AppGallery were revealed, which Huawei has now clarified. For example, the Chinese company can take advantage of the growth in terms of the number of developers registered in the system, which already reaches 1.8 million And the same thing happens with the number of applications that make exclusive use of Huawei services (HMS), which has increased by 123% this year, reaching 96 thousand units available. It is not a number comparable to the rest of the app stores, but the growth is exponential considering that AppGallery has only been active since last year.

This application store has 34 million monthly active users who download and use the tools available on their Huawei phones.Although, according to reports from the company, there are also users who have downloaded this store on mobile phones belonging to other manufacturers. Although they are the least, obviously. With this, Huawei takes advantage of its 700 million active users worldwide, of which 73 million belong to Europe. Although what is interesting here is not the growth of a young and promising application store. But of the facilities that it is giving to the developers to obtain visibility and also income. Something that could make AppGallery rival the Google Play Store or represent an interesting alternative for developers who want more profitability for their applications and creations

Several games top $1 million in revenue per month

According to the Vice President of Huawei Mobile Services in Europe, Jaime Gonzalo, there are already developers who have seen the opportunity to launch their games on AppGallery and take advantage of it.One of those who has spoken is Lords Mobile, with relative success in the Google Play Store due to the promotion of this Google application store. However, comparing the figures with the AppGallery, where the game begins to drop in downloads and profits after the initial promotion in the Google Play Store, Lords Mobile already exceeds one million dollars a month in revenue in the Huawei store And it's not the only one.

Perhaps because it is a young store with much less competitiveness and strong investment and attention from Huawei, this market is bringing a few joys to various developers. It will be necessary to see if, as the months go by, the upward trends in the number of downloads and benefits continue. But it is clear that AppGallery is emerging as an interesting alternative for developers who are not having the success sought in the Google Play Store.

Huawei's app store offers developers a lot of flexibility in receiving income for their tools: direct card payments , through Paypal, through the payment with operator, etc. And they have on their side the entire ecosystem of HMS tools that they have created to make HarmonyOS the most open operating system. Although for this we will have to wait a little longer. At the moment, this ecosystem will first reach smart watches and, later, also the next Huawei mobiles.

At the moment, either because AppGallery is in its infancy, because of the push and effort that Huawei is making for its evolution, or because the competition is not so strong, Huawei's app store is becoming in an attractive corner for developers. It's still a ways off from the Google Play Store and App Store numbers, but the numbers suggest there's room for a new entrant.
