According to Canalys's latest report data, in the first quarter of 2024, Huawei regained the top position in the smartphone market shipment in Chinese mainland after 13 quarters, with the enthusiastic market response of the Mate and nova series, Huawei's mobile phone shipments reached 11.7 million units, occupying a market share of up to 17%!
It is worth mentioning that the position at the top of the shipment list has also been won by domestic brands, with OPPO ranking second with 10.9 million units shipped.
It is not easy for Huawei to withstand the pressure and return the king. After being sanctioned by the United States in 2019, Huawei's mobile phone shipments fell sharply. In 2020, Huawei's mobile phone shipments were 125 million units, and in 2021, Huawei's mobile phone shipments fell off a cliff to 35 million units. In 2022, Huawei's mobile phone shipments fell further to 28 million units. It wasn't until August 29, 2023, after the Huawei Mate60 series of mobile phones was born, that Huawei officially began to come out of the haze, and mobile phone shipments began to stop falling and rise!
Huawei's mobile phone shipments in 2023 are 35 million units, which is 7 million units higher than in 2022, and Huawei's shipments only began to surge after September 2023.
In the first quarter of this year, Huawei's mobile phone shipments in a single quarter have reached 11.7 million units, and Huawei Pura 70 series mobile phones were officially launched in late April this year, and shipments in the second quarter are expected to far exceed the first quarter.
At this point, we can proudly say that the US sanctions not only did not bring down Huawei, but instead gave Huawei a wave of priceless advertising.
After the United States sanctioned Huawei, the Chinese people have been holding their breath, after the breakthrough of Huawei's chip technology, this anger was completely vented! Maybe the chip of Huawei's mobile phone has not reached the world's first-class level, and the price of mobile phones may be high, but many Chinese have abandoned Apple and started to use Mate60 and Pura70!
The reason why people buy Huawei is also very simple: don't steam steamed buns, fight for breath, the more sanctions the United States imposes, the more I support it!
In Chinese the face of sanctions and oppression by external hostile forces, Chinese would rather fight than surrender!
The reason why Huawei can return to the first place is that its attitude of not surrendering is the key. As long as Chinese companies stand firmly on the side of the country and the people, the Chinese will support these backbone enterprises in various ways.
On the other hand, if a company chooses to surrender, retreat or even want to sell it to the other party at a low price as soon as it is subject to external sanctions, the negative impact on China's economy will be huge. Therefore, our support for enterprises that persist in the struggle is not only based on the recognition of enterprises, but also on the consideration of their own interests and national development. These companies, which are able to firmly defend their interests and rights in the face of external sanctions, are in fact defending the country's economy and dignity.
There is no doubt that rational Chinese will support companies that insist on not capitulating and actively resisting external pressure. This is not only the protection of the company's own interests, but also the defense of the overall interests of the country.
For the sake of national independence and national dignity, the Chinese people have paid a lot, and the revolutionary martyrs have gone forward one after another and made heroic sacrifices, so that we have today's happy life. In this case, if any external force attempts to challenge China's national dignity, the Chinese will unite and fight back.
In recent years, many Chinese companies have faced unprecedented challenges and pressures in the international market. For these enterprises that defend national dignity, the Chinese people will express their support for the enterprises in various ways, including purchasing products, providing technical support, and advocating domestic substitution.
Finally, I hope that our enterprises will strive to develop themselves and continuously improve their competitiveness under the premise of abiding by international rules, and I hope that they will remember that as long as Chinese enterprises do not surrender, they can win the firm support of the Chinese people!
