The leading websites in the country saw tremendous growth over the mobile channel.

Recently released data from the leading e-commerce sites in China have revealed that those websites experienced an average mcommerce growth of 600 percent last year.

In that country, online shopping is generates an estimated $40,000 per second.

However, the majority of that spending has been over laptops and desktops. This is what has made it so notable that Tmall and Taobao have reported that the purchases that were being made on their websites by way of smartphones and tablets has skyrocketed by 600 percent. This represents a massive growth in the importance of mcommerce and tcommerce.

There have also been a number of other considerable mcommerce victories over the last year.

The company that operates both of the aforementioned stores, Alibaba, also revealed that the number of unique visitors that came to Taobao in 2012 over its mcommerce apps or through a browser broke the 300 million mark. The blog from that company explained that among those visitors from mobile devices, 57 million (19 percent) actually made a purchase over their smartphones.

Though this makes it appear as though shoppers have made a major move toward mcommerce, among all of the transactions completed on Taobao last year, mobile represented only 6.87 percent. This is an increase of only 1.77 percent over the year before.

It was previously revealed through the data produced by iResearch last year in the second quarter that Tmall and Taobao had already established themselves as mcommerce leaders in china. They stepped far above the competition by taking in an online shopping share of 75.6 percent of all purchases made on the internet through the use of any device. Though there are other strong online retailers in the country, there are a number that remain underrepresented over smartphone and tcommerce, such as Amazon China.

According to Alex Qiu, the general manager for the Alibaba mobile business unit, “The speed of mobile adoption has been much faster than we thought it would be.” As smartphone and tablet adoption continue to take off in China, it makes sense that the use of mcommerce will only continue to grow.

Samsung is now leading the way in the Chinese marketplace as Nokia drops down to seventh place.

Android has been making massive technology news headlines in China’s smartphone market as it is now representing an estimated 86 percent of the devices in the country, as per the statistics from the last quarter of 2012.

Samsung has now leapt ahead as the leader of the devices based on that Google operating system.

That manufacturer has made some highly strategic moves that have made technology news so that they could ride their way right up to the top of the list. This new data was just released by Strategy Analytics, which performed an analysis on the data from Q4 of last year. It also almost tripled its sales in China during 2012.

The latest technology news estimates are suggesting that during 2012 alone, Samsung sold 30.06 million smartphones within the country

This represented 17.7 percent of the entire market and is a massive increase over the number that it sold in 2011, which was 10.9 million and which represented 12.4 percent of the entire market.

The reason that this is making technology news headlines around the world is that China is the largest smartphone market in the world. Moreover, its steady climb up to the top has happened at the same time that Nokia has taken a considerable slide. This took its market share from 2011 when it was 29.9 percent, to reach only 3.7 percent in 2012. It had previously been in first place, but it has dropped down to seventh place.

Among all of the remaining smartphone manufacturers making technology news, Lenovo has come in strong as the second place holder. It has taken a 13.2 percent share of the Chinese market. This is a meaningful increase after having only 4 percent in 2011. Apple had an 11 percent share and third place, followed by Huawei at 9.9 percent, and the local device maker, Coolpad, at 9.7 percent. Those were the companies that made up the coveted top five positions within the Strategy Analytics report that has only just been released to the public.
