Recently, the US media broke the news that Huawei's self-developed Hongmeng system only won 2% of the share in 18 months, which was regarded as overestimated by the outside world. Many people are surprised by this, thinking that Huawei has always been at the forefront of the industry in independent research and development, why is the market performance of Hongmeng system not satisfactory? This article will analyze this from multiple angles!
First of all, Huawei's release of the Hongmeng system is not very early. In August 2019, Huawei officially launched the Harmony system, and other giant companies such as Apple and Google have launched self-developed operating systems. Therefore, as a latecomer, Hongmeng system needs to spend more time and energy to attract users in order to win a competitive advantage in the market.
Second, Huawei's Hongmeng system is currently only used on Huawei's smart TVs, smart watches, Internet of Things and other devices, and not on mobile devices such as mobile phones. Mobile phones are one of the most important entrances in the mobile Internet era, and it is also one of the devices that users pay the most attention to and use frequently, but Huawei's Hongmeng system has not made a breakthrough in the mobile phone market. Therefore, the Harmony system is limited to its own ecosystem for a period of time, resulting in a very limited market share.
Third, compared with operating systems such as Android and IOS, the application ecology of the Harmony System is not perfect enough. For a long time, Android and IOS have dominated the mobile device operating system market, building a complete application ecosystem, and users can choose a variety of applications in the app store, which makes the user experience more convenient. However, the application ecology of the Hongmeng system needs to be further improved to meet the needs of users.
Finally, the US government imposed a two-year blockade on Huawei, which had a very large impact on Huawei. Due to the blockade of the US government, Huawei can no longer use Google services on the Android system, including Google Play, Gmail and other important services, which has a negative impact on the sales and user experience of Huawei mobile phones. In addition, the US government has also suppressed Huawei's development in various ways, including restrictions on its core technology and supply chain, resulting in huge pressure and challenges on Huawei. All this has a negative impact on the market performance of the Harmony System.
Since Huawei officially launched the Hongmeng system, it has been attracting much attention. As an operating system independently developed by Huawei, the Harmony System has always been highly expected by the outside world. However, recently, the US media broke the news that the market share of the Hongmeng system accounted for only 2%, and many people were surprised by this, thinking that Huawei has been at the forefront of the industry in independent research and development, why is the market performance of the Hongmeng system not satisfactory? This article analyzes this from multiple perspectives.
First, the release time of the Hongmeng system is late
Although Huawei has been exploring the road of independent research and development of operating systems, the release time of the Harmony System is not very early. When the Harmony system was officially launched in August 2019, Apple, Google and other companies had already launched operating systems for their own products early. Therefore, the Harmony system is in the position of a latecomer, and if it wants to win a competitive advantage in the market, it needs more time and energy to attract users.
Second, the application scope of Hongmeng system is limited
At present, Huawei's Hongmeng system is only used in Huawei's smart TVs, smart watches, Internet of Things and other devices, and is not applied to mainstream terminal equipment such as mobile phones. As one of the most important entrances in the mobile Internet era, mobile phones are also one of the devices that users pay great attention to, and the frequency of use is also the highest, but Huawei's Hongmeng system has not made breakthroughs in the mobile phone market. Therefore, the Harmony system is limited to its own ecosystem for a period of time, resulting in a very limited market share.
Third, the application ecology of Hongmeng system needs to be further improved
Compared with operating systems such as Android and IOS, the application ecology of the Harmony System is not perfect enough. For a long time, Android and IOS have dominated the mobile device operating system market, building a complete application ecosystem, and users can choose a variety of applications in the app store, which makes the user experience more convenient. However, the application ecology of the Hongmeng system needs to be further improved to meet the needs of users.
Fourth, the US government's blockade of Huawei affects the development of the Hongmeng system
The US government imposed a two-year blockade on Huawei, which had a great impact on Huawei. Due to the blockade of the US government, Huawei can no longer use Google services on the Android system, including Google Play, Gmail and other important services, which has a negative impact on the sales and user experience of Huawei mobile phones. In addition, the US government has also suppressed Huawei's development in various ways, including restrictions on its core technology and supply chain, resulting in huge pressure and challenges on Huawei. All this has a negative impact on the market performance of the Harmony System.
To sum up, there are many reasons for the lack of market share of Huawei's Hongmeng system. Although the Harmony system has made some progress in technology and has also been recognized by some enterprises and users, it is still too weak in the face of mature operating systems such as Android and IOS. In the future, with the continuous upgrading and improvement of the Harmony system, it is believed that its performance in the market will improve. At the same time, Huawei also needs to actively expand the user and application ecosystem through more cooperation, investment, and openness, and improve the user experience and market acceptance of the Harmony System, so as to continuously enhance its market competitive advantage in the medium and long term.
