Top 30 Non Game Manufacturers in China's Overseas Revenue in January

In the first month of 26 years, ByteDance and JOYY Inc (NASDAQ: YY) continued to maintain their leading positions in the first issue of the ranking list of China's non game application manufacturers' overseas revenue. Although their overseas revenue declined slightly, they still had a clear leading edge over other listed manufacturers in terms of data. At the beginning of the new year, Ruiqi Software returned to third place on the list, and its plant photo recognition and intelligent maintenance application "PaintThis" reversed the decline in revenue since autumn and winter through activities such as "New Year Indoor Plant Fashion Trends" and "Holiday Plant Partners" launched during the New Year period. Together with other applications under its umbrella, it further promoted a month on month increase of over 52.2% in overseas revenue last month.

Among the top manufacturers on the list, due to the holiday effect, IntSig (SH: 688615) and iQiyi (NASDAQ: IQ), which mainly use office tools and streaming media categories, saw a slight increase in overseas revenue on the data side last month. In addition, including the vast majority of manufacturers listed in the middle of the list, their overseas revenue data has shown varying degrees of decline.

The yoga fitness community app "Daily Yoga" under the umbrella of Daily Yoga also received holiday traffic during the New Year period. At the beginning of the month, it launched a 30 day special event themed "Chair Yoga for New Year" around "Chair Yoga", which received active participation from European and American users, mainly in the United States. Under the spontaneous dissemination effect of users, its user subscription volume increased significantly in the short term. Ultimately, it helped its manufacturer achieve a month on month increase in overseas revenue of over 50.4%.

In addition, the revenue data of the manufacturers listed at the bottom of the list showed a completely opposite trend, including Appxy, Dahua Technology (SZ: 002236), Easyroid, and Bilibili (NASDAQ: BILI), which all had a slight increase in overseas revenue last month. At the same time, VeePro, which operates video dating apps such as "Fachat" and "Lumi", also made the list for the first time in nearly a year due to its stable performance in overseas revenue. In addition, manufacturers that saw an increase in rankings last month include Changdu Technology and WEO Technology Limited.

Top 30 Chinese game manufacturers in terms of overseas revenue in January

In January, the overseas new travel market entered the new year period, so the overall market performance tended to be active. The monthly revenue data of listed manufacturers continued the previous growth momentum. Some domestic manufacturers even took this opportunity to launch new products and achieve explosive results, leading to a drastic change in the ranking of listed manufacturers in this period. From the perspective of top manufacturers on the list, there has been no change in the top five, with Century Games (SZ: 002602), Tencent (HK: 00700), and MicroFun continuing to dominate the top three, including miHoYo, which has a clear data lead. It is worth noting that the monthly estimated revenue of Tasty Travels: Merge Game, a synthetic mobile game under Century Games (SZ: 002602), has exceeded $16 million, setting a new record and helping its manufacturer further consolidate its ranking advantage.

In the middle of the list, Eagle Point Network returned to the list after more than a year due to the outstanding performance of its new RPG product "Arknights: Endgame" derived from its "Arknights" IP. The 3D realistic style of the game, which combines the science fiction industrial style with the future functional aesthetics, has won the recognition of many regions in the T1 market, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, China, etc. In its first week, it topped the free iOS charts in multiple countries and topped the list of new games of the month with an estimated revenue of over 240 million yuan in two weeks.

In addition, X.D.Network (HK: 02400) and Purple Dragon Games have achieved data and ranking growth through the outstanding performance of new games. The international version of the healing life simulation social mobile game "Heartopia" released by the former last month, "Heartopia," replicated the successful interactive operation strategy in China on overseas social media platforms, effectively helping to promote its reputation and spread. Internally, the winter ice and snow themed version "Winter Frost Season" launched after the launch event has further continued its popularity and achieved sustained revenue growth. In January, driven by this product, the manufacturer's overseas revenue achieved a month on month increase of over 147.9%.

Zlong Games, on the other hand, returned to the list thanks to the outstanding performance of its Japanese style RPG product "Dragon Soul Traveler" international version "Dragon Traveler", which has already been released and operated in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and China. In addition, other manufacturers that saw an increase in rankings last month include NetEase (NASDAQ: NTES), MoonTon, IGG (HK: 00799), and Magotan.
