Distimo: China Now The Second Largest iPhone App Market After The U.S.

After reporting the Android Market's increasing rate of growth in April's research, app store analytics company Distimo is releasing a new study that focuses on Apple's App Store development in Asia. The company took a look at iOS app data in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. One of the key findings from the report is that while some Western countries witnesses a decrease in download volume (France and Germany), iPhone app download volume in Asian countries has grown significantly in the past six months in the Apple App Store. In fact, Distimo says that China recently became the second largest market after the United States. That's pretty fast growth considering Apple only opened a tailored App Store for China last Fall.
