2017 couldn't have started better for Xiaomi. Today, the Indian headquarters announced that it has earned over $1 billion in product sales in 2016. The milestone is surprising for the speed with which it was achieved, given that the company has only been in the Indian market for a little over 2 years. For Xiaomi India, reaching this milestone is not the only memorable event of the past year: Xiaomi has in fact become the third brand in terms of sales, with a share of 10,7% (behind Samsung and Lenovo), has totaled more than 2 million devices sold in the third quarter, registering an increase of 150% compared to the same period of the previous year and has seen Redmi Note 3 become the most requested smartphone in the history of online sales, with a total of 2,3 million devices shipped in just six months.
Manu Jain, head of Xiaomi India, said he was grateful for the support shown by Xiaomi fans and motivated in wanting to continue this "journey" that has brought so much satisfaction in recent months. The astounding numbers once again confirm the enormous success and growth that the brand is having all over the world and represent a record not only for Xiaomi but for all Chinese brands, which in India have divided 40% of the telephone market. .
