Tencent also published the performance reporting in the second quarter today.
You can download from here (PDF) its full version, but I would like to introduce some numbers that related to their social media area.
They announced that WeChat monthly active users is 235.8 million people, and this number increased 176.8% compared to the YoY.
Tencent recently does not officially publish the actual user numbers, but it is said that the number of WeChat registered users are more than 400 million people. This means their monthly active user rate is about 60%.
60% are high or low? According to a news, their rival LINE has about 90% of monthly active users rate. So it may be said that it's a little bit low.
Tencent CEO Ma said in this report that Tencent will continue to focus on the mobile solutions from now on too, and they recognize that WeChat will play a central role not only in the domestic market but also the oversea market.
WeChat has more than 70 million oversea users now, but their rival LINE already has more than 100 million oversea users. So firstly they have to catch LINE, and also have to increase the rate of active users.
By the way, I also would like to introduce the number that is related other social media services.
- The number of IM monthly active users were 818.5 million people, and this number increased 4.5 compared to YoY.
- Peak simultaneous online IM user accounts were 173.2 million people, and this number increased 4.0% compared to YoY.
- The number of Qzone monthly active users were 626.4 million people, and this number increased 4.8% compared to YoY.
I explained before that Tencent dominates more than 65% of mobile instant messenger market in China. But looking this report, I recognized the power of Tencent in Chinese social media market again.
