China’s Booming Mini-Program Ecosystems

China's Booming Mini-Program Ecosystems

Did you know that the largest mini-program ecosystem in China is actually within WeChat, the country's ubiquitous super app? But Alipay, the digital wallet app, has emerged as the #2 player - and it's growing fast!

Alipay now hosts over 4 million mini-programs, with a healthy 6.3% annual growth rate. And the platform just surpassed 890 million monthly active users in 2024 - making it the fastest-growing super app in China, even compared to giants like WeChat and Taobao.

The scale and dynamism of China's mini-program landscape is truly remarkable. These lightweight, embedded apps are transforming how users access all kinds of services, from ecommerce to lifestyle to utilities and beyond. It's an ecosystem worth watching closely!
