For the first time in nine years, Samsung is no longer a leader in the global smartphone market. The South Korean giant has been removed from the throne by Huawei 柬埔寨电话号码表.
While the sanctions imposed by the United States on the Chinese smartphone maker have put stones in the way of Huawei’s business outside its small homeland, in its native China Huawei is the undisputed leader. Not surprisingly, the Chinese smartphone market is controlled by more than 70% by Huawei.
According to a Canalys study, Huawei shipped 55.8 million smartphones worldwide during the second quarter of the year, while Samsung sold 53.7 million devices.
In the period between April and June 2020, Huawei has benefited greatly from the recovery of the Chinese economy after the coronavirus crisis and this has been noticeable in its sales.
Leadership could be short-lived for Huawei
However, it appears that Huawei will not be able to retain its leadership in the global smartphone market for long. After all, the Chinese manufacturer’s overseas sales plummeted by nearly a third during the second quarter of 2020, says Mo Jia, an analyst at Canalys.
In addition, not a few retailers in very important markets such as Europe are walking with lead when it comes to the commercialization of Huawei devices. In their establishments, some retailers are selling fewer models of the Chinese brand and instead betting on phones from other manufacturers.
Beyond being a smartphone manufacturer, Huawei is a network provider and in this facet of its business the United States blames it on alleged espionage practices (which the Chinese company denies, however, emphatically).
The government led by Donald Trump has cut ties almost entirely with Huawei and is pressuring other countries to do the same 社交帖子.
