Huawei has reclaimed the top spot in China’s smartphone market for the first time in over four years, surpassing both Apple and domestic rivals like Xiaomi, according to a new report from the United States-based International Data Corporation.
The Shenzhen-based tech giant captured 18.1% of China’s smartphone market in Q2 2024, shipping 12.5 million units, IDC data released Tuesday showed. This marks a significant rebound for Huawei, which has faced numerous challenges, including U.S. export controls, Western bans, and a corruption investigation in Belgium.
China’s overall smartphone market declined 4 per cent year-on-year to 69 million units in Q2, ending six consecutive quarters of growth.
