The trends driving Chinese tech: Highlights from Mary Meeker’s 2018 Internet Trends Report

Chinese technology companies have witnessed amazing growth in the past half decade. Of the world’s top 20 internet firms, nine originate from China, even though just two went public prior to mid-2013. Tencent’s market value has increased by a factor of seven in the past five years Alibaba, which only IPOed in 2014, is now the country’s most valuable company.

The meteoric growth of China’s internet firms can be partly attributed to the number of people accessing the internet. China has an online community that is more than twice the size of the total population of the US and exceeds the entire populace of Europe.

These insights form part of famed venture capitalist Mary Meeker’s 2018 Internet Trends Report. The document contains everything from global e-commerce trends to internet policy, and more importantly, China’s rising influence in internet-related markets.
