Although it is not a well-known name outside of the Chinese market, you may recall that Xiaomi managed to grab the number 3 spot as a global manufacturer of smartphones during the third quarter. The phenomenal growth Xiaomi has achieved in the sales of smartphones is helping the company in other ways, like the recent accomplishment of having 10 billion apps downloaded from their app store. That has translated to 364,000,000 yuan ($59 million USD) paid to developers from January to October of this year. This strong growth has prompted the company to start looking outside China.

Users are currently downloading apps from the Xiaomi App Store 50 million times a day. The interest in the Xiaomi store is no doubt aided by the lack of a presence in China by Google. Currently, Xiaomi has opened access to an international version of their app store to users in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore to go with all of the users in mainland China accessing the app store. Xiaomi is also poised to enter the Indian market which is likely to produce another huge surge in interest in their app store.
