UC Browser has passed the 500 million users milestone, further strengthening its position as the world's largest third-party mobile browser by user base. Out of UC Browser’s 500 million users, 300 million use Android. With market leadership in China and India, the world’s largest and second-largest countries by population, as well as having a strong momentum in terms of user adoption in several other key markets, UC Browser is steadily moving towards fulfilling its mission to provide a better mobile internet experience to billions of users around the world. To celebrate this landmark achievement and mark the start of its next journey, the company is kicking off a brand campaign that includes the launch of the new UC Browser brand mascot and product tagline.
According to the Chinese research firm iResearch, UC Browser dominated China’s mobile browser market in 2013 with over 65% of the market share (based on monthly active users for both Android and iOS). UC Browser is also popular on the other side of the Himalayas. StatCounter’s data shows that UC Browser leads the overall mobile browser category in India with 32% market share. China currently has over 618 million internet users with 80 per cent on mobile, and the number of mobile internet users in India is expected to grow to 185 million by June 2014.
Success in China and India has given UCWeb the experience and momentum to further expand globally. Within the past year, UC Browser has seen significant growth in several of the fastest- growing countries in terms of internet usage – Russia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the United States. As of today, UC Browser has over 10% share of the mobile browser market in ten countries around the world.
