Google continues to lose marketshare in China after pulling out of China years ago.

New market share reports from Marbridge Consulting puts Google in forth place in terms of search market share. Google trails Baidu, Qihoo 360, and Sogou with only 4.72% share in China. Baidu has 72.97%, Qihoo 360 has 9.64% and Sogou has 7.83%.

TheNextWeb adds that Google Maps also dropped, now in the 6th position based on China market share. The reason for the drop on the maps side is because of Apple dropping Google Maps in iOS 6 for their own mapping application.

Here is the search market share report from Marbridge Consulting:

I think the graph shows that Google is not only one trustworthy search engine people use to search anything. Soon people from all over the world will realize the same. :P
