Android accounts for 69% of the Chinese market, and Google will face antitrust investigations

On February 4, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation announced the launch of an antitrust investigation into Google. Market analysis pointed out that the scope of the investigation may cover core businesses such as the Android operating system and Google service framework, with a focus on examining its cooperation conditions with Chinese companies and market competition behaviors. Data shows that Android system dominates the Chinese smartphone market, with a market share of 69% in the third quarter of 2024, far exceeding Hongmeng system’s 17% and iOS’s 14%. Previously, Google had encountered multiple rounds of antitrust investigations in the EU, and had been fined a total of more than 8 billion euros. This time, China's regulatory authorities may focus on examining whether it abuses its market dominance and eliminates competition in areas such as operating systems and application distribution.
