Here are a few of the most interesting Tencent statistics I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
In addition to the general Tencent Company Stats below, please use the following links to access over 150 stats for their various properties:
- WeChat Statistics
- QQ Statistics
- Sogou Statistics
- JD.com Statistics
- Qzone Statistics
- Tencent Music Statistics
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Tencent stats come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
