Xiaomi wants to surpass Apple and Samsung to become the world's first, and it is almost hopeless after analysis
Xiaomi marches into China.
Lei Jun's ambition for Xiaomi, he wants to make it the world's largest smartphone brand, there is no doubt about it. However, Xiaomi's development in China has encountered many difficulties. Despite Xiaomi's large Chinese consumer base and strong brand power, its competitor, Apple, occupies the number one spot in sales. Although Xiaomi has become the No. 1 seller in China, it can't always be a leader on a quarterly or annual basis. This is due to the high level of competition in the Chinese market and the increasing demand of users for product quality and branding, Xiaomi must continue to work on technological innovation and product updates.
Xiaomi's performance abroad.
Xiaomi's sales abroad are relatively good. Xiaomi sold 10.6 billion mobile phones, accounting for 72% of total sales, this figure comes from 2022. Among these products, India and Europe are the largest sales markets. However, even if it has achieved good results abroad, Xiaomi still has a long way to go to surpass Apple and Samsung, the world's two largest brands.
Huge difference in sales volume.
The gap in sales between Apple and Samsung, two world-famous smartphone brands, is in stark contrast to Xiaomi. In this report, Apple sold 23.5 billion phones, while Samsung sold 22.7 billion units, compared to Xiaomi sold only 14.6 billion units. Xiaomi and Apple have a sales distance of nearly 90 million units, and there is still a long way to go before it can be surpassed.
Xiaomi's expansion into China has no room for growth.
Although China is a home for Xiaomi, it still has a long way to go before it can break through and surpass Apple in a competitive market. According to the current trend, Xiaomi's growth in China is very limited. Even if Xiaomi could become China's biggest sales leader, it would still be far from Apple. Xiaomi's quest to sell 80 million smartphones in China is a daunting task for it.
There are broad prospects for development abroad.
Although Xiaomi's sales abroad have increased, it still has to pay a big price to surpass Apple and Samsung. To achieve this, Xiaomi must also continue to expand its market presence abroad. However, Xiaomi also has to face fierce competition from local brands abroad, and it has to actively cater to customer preferences in various countries and regions.
Xiaomi's path to becoming a world champion is difficult.
To become a world leader, Xiaomi must achieve a breakthrough in all aspects in China, while also expanding its share internationally. Judging by the current situation, it will be difficult for Xiaomi to achieve this goal. There are also some issues that need to be addressed, such as how to expand China's market share and how to shorten the distance between China and other competitors.
Conclusion. Although Lei Jun is very confident in Xiaomi's future development, there is still a long way to go to surpass Apple and Samsung and become the world's leader. Xiaomi wants to achieve a breakthrough not only in China, but also internationally. Although the current numbers suggest that Xiaomi has a slim chance of overtaking Apple, it is not without chances of winning. Xiaomi is able to cater to the needs of customers through continuous technological innovation and product updates, and enhance the core competitiveness of its brand, thus laying a good foundation for its eventual development. Xiaomi's development will depend on its strength in product development, market expansion and other fields, as well as the effectiveness of strategic implementation. He firmly believes that under the leadership of Lei Jun, Xiaomi will achieve greater success.
