In the current global chess game, the Chinese market is undoubtedly very attractive to international technology giants.
Now Gou's remarks have once again aroused widespread attention and heated discussions.
His argument seems to point to a logic that seems absurd but not unreasonable: Apple, the tech giant, can't do without the huge market of China.
This is not only a matter of business strategy, but also a potential change in the future of technology and economy.
Gou's speech once again pushed Apple's complex relationship with the Chinese market to the forefront of public opinion.
Not only does Apple have a broad consumer base in China, but it also relies on the city's well-established supply chain and production facilities.
From this point of view, it seems that Apple does not easily get rid of the importance of the Chinese market.
First, Apple's business in China is not just about sales, its manufacturing base in China is also a key link in its global supply chain.
According to statistics, many of Apple's major suppliers, including Foxconn, Pegatron, etc., are located in China.
The factories of these suppliers take on the majority of the production of almost all of Apple's products.
China's abundant labor resources and relatively low production costs make it irreplaceable for high-end electronics manufacturers like Apple.
However, Gou's remarks mentioned that "Apple cannot do without the Chinese market".
And not just from a production and supply chain perspective.
China is the world's largest single market, with a population of more than 1.4 billion, and smartphone penetration and spending power continue to grow.
Apple's sales in China account for nearly one-third of its total global sales, a percentage that speaks volumes about the importance of the Chinese market to Apple.
Especially in markets outside of the United States, the Chinese market has more sales than even any other country.
In terms of consumer culture, Apple products have a unique brand image and consumer loyalty in China.
For many Chinese consumers, owning an iPhone is not just a communication tool, but also a social status symbol.
This brand loyalty and consumers' emotional dependence on Apple products constitute a competitive advantage that Apple is difficult to replace by other brands in the Chinese market.
On the other hand, the particularity of the Chinese market is also reflected in its rapidly changing consumer trends and technological innovations.
In recent years, China's local technology companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi,
With its in-depth understanding of the local market and rapid innovation capabilities, it is gradually eating into Apple's share of the high-end market.
Not only do these companies offer products that are technically comparable to Apple's, but they are also more competitive in price, which puts a lot of pressure on Apple.
So, while Apple has a global reputation, in China it has to face increasing competition and ever-changing market demand.
This kind of competition not only comes from price and technology, but also from how to occupy a place in the consumer culture with Chinese characteristics.
Apple's marketing strategy and product innovation need to be adjusted and optimized to the specific needs of Chinese consumers to a large extent.
Terry Gou's remarks may just be a trigger point, what is really worth pondering.
How to adapt your strategy to changing market demands in this environment.
Every market turmoil is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to test the resilience of a company.
In this game full of uncertainties, how to stabilize your foothold in the turmoil is the key to winning the future.
