Lina Danilchik

Apple Search Ads is now available in mainland China for booking campaigns, and July 20 is when the ads start to serve on the App Store in mainland China.

According to a report by China Internet Network Information Center, 97% of all country’s internet users use smartphones. The number of mobile apps in China amounts to 3.5 million, while about 30% of mobile devices are iOS. What is more, China is one of the top revenue generators on iOS and according to some reports, accounts for almost half of mobile app spend.

For approved businesses and apps, this update opens up new opportunities for mobile publishers to promote apps on the App Store in mainland China through Apple Search Ads. To advertise an app on the App Store in mainland China, your business and app must be approved.

We at SplitMetrics think this is a great chance to bring your app to mainland China and reach an untapped audience on the App Store before most of your competitors do.
