Official Chinese App Stores: The Complete Directory & Download Guide

Why Chinese App Stores?

Due to the Google Play Store’s limited availability in China, the Chinese mobile ecosystem has developed its own thriving network of official app stores. The Chinese app store market consists of three major operating systems: Android, iOS, and the emerging HarmonyOS NEXT, which dominates with 79% of the market share. These platforms serve hundreds of millions of users and offer access to both international and China-specific applications.

Below you will find all the major Chinese app stores and their official websites. That way, whether you are doing market research or looking to download apps, you can safely navigate China’s vast app store and app ecosystem.

Important: Always download app stores from their official websites or trusted sources to ensure security and authenticity.
