    Huawei smartphone market share to slump to just 4% in 2021: TrendForce

    Huawei is a technology champion in China but it’s threatened by US restrictions

    Huawei Technologies’ global smartphone market share is expected to fall to just 4% in 2021, a precipitous drop for the company that earlier this year ranked as the world leader in shipments.

    China’s telecommunications giant will account for 14% of the market this year and then drop to less than a third of that, TrendForce researchers said on Tuesday. A sustained campaign of sanctions against Huawei from the US government has resulted in the company losing access to key software, chip design and manufacturing partners, depriving it of its technological edge.

    The Honor budget phone division that Huawei recently announced it is selling to a government-backed consortium in Shenzhen will take 2% of the market next year, constrained by its own component shortages and uncertainty around sanctions, according to an article posted on TrendForce’s WeChat account.

    The forecast points to other established Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Oppo stepping in to fill the void left by Huawei, benefiting along with Apple’s iPhone sales. Together with the newly independent Honor, the rest of China’s smartphone makers are likely to expand production targets and compete aggressively for the newly vacated space, TrendForce said.  — (c) 2020 Bloomberg LP
