China Surpass US, in Android and iOS Device Activation,among the Biggest Smartphone Market

China Overtakes U.S. in iOS, Android Activations [STUDY]: "When it comes to smartphone activations, the U.S. is no longer the biggest player out there.

In February, Flurry's Research  calculated that China surpassed the United States in monthly new iOS and Android device activations for the first time in history.  China is now the world’s fast est growing smart device market.  For March, we project that China will account for 24% of all iOS and Android device activations, while the U.S. will account for 21%.

While China ranked 10th in application sessions at the beginning of 2011, it finished the year in 2nd place, only behind the United States. The  Chinese Growth story will be pretty evident when  you consider that in January 2011, the U.S. accounted for 28% of the world’s total iOS and Android activations. China claimed just 8% at the time. In March, Flurry projects that China will account for 24% of such activations vs. 21% for the US

U.S.’s install base for smartphones is bigger than China’s, but, given the recent numbers, Flurry expects that to change soon. “We estimate that the U.S., a more mature market, currently has more than twice as many active devices than China,” reads a blog post from the researcher. “However, China, a faster growing, emerging market, already has twice as large an installed base as the next largest market, the UK.” It should also be noted that with 1.3 billion people, China has more than four times the population of the U.S
