Apple and Huawei recorded strong growth in China smartphone sales during Q2, bucking an overall decline of 17 per cent year-on-year, Counterpoint Research figures showed.
It placed Apple as the fastest-growing vendor during the period, with sales up 32 per cent and market share rising from 6 per cent in Q2 2019 to 9 per cent. Huawei sales grew 14 per cent, taking its share from 33 per cent to 46 per cent.
Vivo sales fell 29 per cent; Oppo 31 per cent; and Xiaomi 35 per cent.
Research analyst Flora Tang noted China had become Huawei’s most important market as its overseas performance affected by a block on accessing Google services, though she noted a “hefty investment” in expanding on and offline distribution networks “paid off” along with a growing 5G portfolio, which resulted in the vendor taking a 60 per cent share of sales of these devices.
China Academy of Information and Communications Technology figures showed demand for 5G models accelerated [1] in Q2.
Counterpoint Research stated the devices accounted for 33 per cent of sales, though senior analyst Ethan Qi noted price points are trending lower than their current level of $400 and higher.
