What can Huawei's HMS ecosystem do for Chinese companies going overseas?

The highly anticipated 2020 HDC Huawei Developer Conference has been confirmed to officially open on September 10. According to the information officially released by Huawei, in addition to HarmonyOS and EMUI, this developer conference will also focus on sharing the latest progress of HMS Core 5.0. Huawei Mobile Services (hereinafter referred to as: HMS) has attracted much attention since its birth. So, how is the current progress of the HMS ecosystem? What important measures will be announced at the 2020 HDC Huawei Developer Conference regarding the construction of the HMS ecosystem? The author is willing to make a prediction on this.

How does Huawei help its ecosystem partners go overseas?

"Going overseas" is a high-frequency word that developers have paid attention to in recent years. According to iMedia's "2020 China APP Overseas Market Status and Competition Landscape Special Research Report", China's games, e-commerce, and tool applications have developed relatively maturely in the domestic market, and the user scale has reached the ceiling. Therefore, more companies have gradually turned their development direction to the huge "blue ocean" of the overseas market, and the HMS ecosystem is an important channel for them to "go overseas".

On the other hand, developers going overseas are faced with a completely different market and social environment from that in China, and are bound to face various difficulties: for example, the problem of usage habits. Many domestic apps are designed and built for the usage habits of Chinese people, and if they go overseas, they have to design a separate overseas version; another example is the problem of laws and regulations. Different countries have different compliance requirements for App applications; there are also issues such as language adaptation and local promotion, which will become "thresholds" for developers on the road to going overseas. So, what measures will Huawei take to help these developers adapt to the "soil and water" overseas? Will Huawei set up a specific organization and service platform to help developers go overseas? What successful cases and experiences can be used for reference in this regard? I believe these questions will be answered at the HDC Developer Conference.

What new services will Huawei provide for developers?

The HMS ecosystem is developing at an unstoppable pace, and the stories behind this rapid development are even more curious: How can developers around the world join the Huawei HMS ecosystem, and what kind of support and services can Huawei provide to these developers?

In 2019, Huawei released HMS Core 3.0, which opened up more capabilities for developers, such as HMS Core's Wallet Kit service, to create an All in One Wallet digital lifestyle for end users. So what new Kits will HMS open at this year's Developer Conference, and what new scenarios will these Kits be used for? This is one of the most concerned issues for developers, and I believe it will also be a focus of this year's HDC announcement.

How is Huawei's HMS ecosystem layout achieved?

On February 24 this year, Huawei Consumer Business CEO Yu Chengdong stated at a Huawei press conference that Huawei App Market currently serves more than 170 countries and regions around the world, with 400 million monthly active users, making it one of the top 3 app markets.

According to the latest figures released by Huawei, as of June 2020, the number of registered developers in the HMS ecosystem has reached 1.6 million worldwide, and the number of applications connected to HMS Core worldwide has exceeded 81,000.

It is no coincidence that AppGallery has become one of the top three application markets. Moreover, as a latecomer, the HMS ecosystem has been able to catch up at such a speed. There must be many important experiences and effective practices, which will also be a highlight of the 2020 HDC Huawei Developer Conference.

According to the 2020 HDC Huawei Developer Conference schedule that has been announced, Wang Yanmin, President of Huawei's Global Ecosystem Development Department, will give a keynote speech on the construction of the HMS ecosystem. Will this keynote speech reveal how the HMS ecosystem communicates with developers, partners, and consumers around the world, and what many developers are most concerned about, how the HMS ecosystem will give developers more and more comprehensive support? At 3 pm on September 10, the 2020 HDC Huawei Developer Conference, all the answers about Huawei's HMS ecosystem will be revealed here, let us wait and see and witness the future.
