But let's go to the home brand, Xiaomi, which now becomes the brand with the greatest growth among the top five producers in the world. Xiaomi has indeed beaten the competition by registering an increase of 34,9% on an annual basis, with 44,41 million units shipped and a market share of 12,1%, placing itself in third position globally.
After Xiaomi we find Apple with 40,6 million units and a market share of 11,1%. While OPPO has 29,89 million units sold and a market share of 8,2%.
The Chinese state TV, CCTV, reported today that according to the latest data the ranking of the top four smartphone manufacturers in the global market in the third quarter are: Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and Apple. With shipments from the four major manufacturers accounting for around 60% of the global market.
Among them, Xiaomi is the biggest outsider in the first echelon and the only device manufacturer in the top four that has truly thwarted the downward market trend.
Sun Yanbiao, rector of the First Mobile Phone Industry Research Institute, said that Xiaomi has successfully entered the high-end market and that this is the main reason why Xiaomi has finally managed to overtake Apple by becoming the third in the world.
Furthermore, according to the Chinese media, Xiaomi is the company with the greatest e-commerce genes in China, who have managed to grow the brand even during the epidemic.

What can I say, Xiaomi is showing itself to be increasingly growing especially globally. Now we just have to hope that the brand does not change its sales policy that allows us to buy excellent devices at affordable prices.
