Chineese market was one the few that Google had not taken control over with its search engine and its applications. And there are many voices that suggest Google will not be able to do that in the future, because of the power Baidu supporters have over IT networks and ISPs. Also, recent attacks over Google`s servers were another pull back for the management of the company, still they decided to continue investing and developing for the chineese market.
Last year Google owned 30% of the market, which was very low, compared to Baidu`s 68%, yet they seem to have a strategy that works in these hard, economical speaking, times and gain more and more each month, having during the second half of 2009 a share of the market equal to 43%, while Baidu went down to 56%. All the statistical data was offered by StatCounter.
Aodhan Cullen, the StatCounter CEO stated that "Our analysis suggests that given Google's recent strong performance, market share is certainly not the reason behind its threat to leave China at this time." , so its likely to see Google diving even more into not that well known online territory of China. Google and Baidu are miles ahead of Yahoo and Bing in China's search market, as those two also-rans have combined for just 1.18%, according to StatCounter.
Wonder if any analytical data company is adventurous enough to make some predictions on how the end of 2010 and will look for Baidu, for now, still greatest search engine in China
