Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is targeting shipments of more than 100 million smartphones for next year, following a 70% quarter-on-quarter increase, according to the company's founder and CEO Lei Jun.
Η Chinese company allocated 23,16 million Appliances in the second quarter of 2017. The disposal number was up 70% from the previous quarter, which was also very high compared to previous quarters, Lei said in Beijing.
Η Xiaomi φέρεται να ανέκτησε μεγαλύτερη ορμή ανάπτυξης μετά από δύο χρόνια "προσαρμογών"αφού η εταιρεία αντιμετώπιζε σοβαρούς περιορισμούς στην παραγωγή, δήλωσε ο Lei. Ήταν η μεγαλύτερη πρόκληση που έχει συναντήσει ποτέ η Xiaomi από την ίδρυσή της, αλλά οι αποστολές προϊόντων το προηγούμενο τρίμηνο δείχνουν ότι η παραγωγική ικανότητα της εταιρείας βελτιώνεται σταδιακά, πρόσθεσε.
The company is also developing very ambitious plans to expand its operations both domestically and abroad. In addition to the company's main online sales channels in China, Xiaomi has opened 123 stores in the country so far.
Internationally, revenue from the Indian market grew by 328% in the first half of 2017 compared to the same period last year. The company's market share in India has reportedly risen to second place. Indonesia, Russia and Ukraine are also key overseas markets for Xiaomi, according to Lei.
Lei added that the company will hire more than 1.000 staff personnel for research and development next year.
The data of research firm IDC showed that Xiaomi delivered a total of 9,3 million devices only in China in the first quarter of 2017, hitting a market share of 9%. The company with this percentage deserves the fifth place behind Huawei, Oppo, Vivo and Apple.
