Over the past few years, Huawei has faced significant challenges in the mobile phone industry. Despite its impressive global shipments of 240 million units and a 17.6% market share in 2019, the company’s fortunes have taken a downturn. As of 2021, Huawei has dropped out of the top ranks for global smartphone shipments, highlighting the significant impact of several factors that have led to a serious setback in its mobile phone business.
The decline of Huawei’s smartphone business can be attributed to several factors. One major factor is the ongoing trade war between the US and China, which has led to Huawei being blacklisted by the US government, effectively barring the company from accessing vital components and technologies necessary for its devices. This has not only affected Huawei’s ability to produce high-quality smartphones, but also its global market share and brand image.
Even though they are having a bad time, they don’t want to give up. Huawei said that they will invest more on their smartphone business. This indicates that Huawei is confident with their products.
Huawei ranks among the top 5 Chinese brands according to the statistics of 2022.
Xiaomi said that they occupied 50M users from Huawei and Apple assumed 20M. Now Huawei is getting started to get them back. Huawei is already doing a very good job especially in 5G technology. The Honor Magic 5 series allegedly provides the current best 5G connectivity in a smartphone.
Huawei is also working great on the camera performance of their latest P-series flagships. This investment might steer the future of Huawei smartphone business to the right direction and be a proper competitor of the current dominant brands like Samsung, Apple. Huawei also said that they will continue to launch flagship phones. This month, they said they would launch a high-end device and this could be the Huawei P60 series.
