UCWeb celebrates success story with second anniversary

NEW DELHI, INDIA: UCWeb, a global provider of mobile internet software and services, celebrated its second anniversary in India. In the past three years, UCWeb made its mark in India by raising its market share from zero to more than 30 percent.

Kenny Ye, MD of UCWeb India, said: "We want to assert that this is just the beginning for us in this market and the coming few years are going to be ‘Golden Age' for Indian mobile internet, given the rapid growth of mobile internet users in India.

"The biggest drivers of the growth in this space are the decreased mobile data charges which result in increased consumption of online video, mobile gaming, and mobile commerce, and we believe that these factors will continue to be the main growth drivers."

UCWeb has recently become the No. 1 mobile Internet browser in India. UC Browser is also helping in mobile internet penetration in rural India through its data compression technology, data saving and faster browsing experience. According to IAMAI, the mobile Internet users in rural India are expected to increase from 21 million users in June 2013 to 27 million by December 2013.
