DianDian Data Unveils 2025 Point Awards: Chinese Developers Shift to Value-Driven Global Growth
The awards are split into Premier (top-performing market leaders) and Pioneer (high-growth emerging players) categories for mobile games and apps, with a single benchmark for SDK providers. All evaluations are based solely on proprietary real-time performance data, with no subjective scoring:
Mobile Games & Apps: Premier honorees are selected by annual gross downloads as the core metric, supplemented by global revenue, active user metrics and ratings. Pioneer honorees are judged on niche segment leadership and 2025 revenue and user growth trajectory.
SDK Providers: Honorees are selected based on 2025 share of new app integrations as the core indicator, with supplementary assessment of service coverage and industry penetration across the full global expansion value chain.
Mobile Gaming: Dominant Core Genres + Niche Segment Breakthroughs
In mobile gaming, the awards highlight two dominant genres driving Chinese developers' global footprint: role-playing games (RPGs) such as Honkai: Star Rail and Goddess of Victory: Nikke account for 43% of honorees, while 4X strategy titles including Endless Winter and Rising Sun City make up 30%. Niche segments also saw strong growth, with merge games like Travel of Time and Truck Star gaining broad casual audiences worldwide, and slot titles such as Cash Tornado Trademark Slots penetrating Western markets to meet regional entertainment demands.

Mobile Apps: Creative Tools Lead + Multi-Track High Growthsss
For mobile apps, creative and content-focused tools emerged as clear leaders: photo and video applications (InShot, Meitu, CapCut) represent 33% of honorees, and social entertainment platforms (TikTok, Kwai) account for 23%, reflecting a global shift toward user-generated content. Standout growth was seen in social entertainment apps including JusTalk, Bass Booster & Equalizer and Kito, which achieved significant double growth in downloads and revenue. Fintech tools like CoinSnap and DIDI Finanzas gained traction in North America, while AI-powered apps such as PolyBuzz and KingAI delivered dual growth in downloads and revenue.

SDK Providers: Mature "Core Infrastructure + Vertical Services" Ecosystem
The SDK provider category underscores a mature "core infrastructure + vertical services" ecosystem supporting Chinese developers' global expansion. Huawei, Tencent, ByteDance, Alibaba, Baidu and NetEase serve as foundational providers with multi-scenario SDKs for payments, social connectivity and audio-visual services. Vertical specialists including Agora (real-time communication) and Jiguang (intelligent push notifications) have built technical barriers in niche areas, while diverse partners like Dcloud and Adview complete the service chain with cross-platform development and ad monetization solutions.
