China's Online Dating Users Exceeded 100 Million In 2008

With the rapid development of Internet users, China's online dating users have also gained rapid growth.

According to the research of iResearch AI market consulting company, the number of Internet users who use all kinds of online dating services increased from 46 million 400 thousand in 2005 to 111 million 600 thousand in 2008, with a compound growth rate of 34%.

The proportion of Internet users will increase from 42% in 2005 to 60% in 2008.

IResearch AI analysis believes that China's online dating market will become more competitive.

At present, several long time website operators, such as China friends center, Asian friends center, e friend network, have certain operational experience and industry influence.

However, due to the constraints of social customs, economic conditions, technological situation and payment system, the market is not satisfactory.

The entry of the market in 2006 will be mainly international online dating operators and traditional online dating agencies.

The former has rich international operation experience and abundant financial resources, which can lay a foundation for the early operation. The disadvantage is that it is restricted by China's policies and regulations, and is not familiar with the market's humanistic environment.

The latter has a large number of high-quality customers and complete service experience due to the operating basis of the offline business, but the location of the network is often ambiguous and more limited by geographical constraints.

Generally speaking, the online dating market has a higher entry barrier and a higher degree of competition. The incumbent has a more obvious advantage. The new entrants must have relatively abundant financial resources as the pre promotion expenses.
