Reference News Network October 2 report: According to the website of the Nikkei Business Daily, Huawei, a major Chinese telecommunications equipment company, is increasingly prominent in the smartwatch market. Its quarterly shipments have surpassed Apple and topped the global rankings. Due to the average price of Huawei's smartwatches being only half that of Apple watches, the excellent cost-performance has become one of the reasons for Huawei's products winning consumers, against the backdrop of rising global prices and growing consumer frugality.
According to the report, data from "Comparative Method" technology market research company shows that from April to June this year, global smartwatch shipments increased by 8% to 34.4 million units, with Huawei's shipments increasing by 53% to 7.2 million units, achieving a global market share of 21%, ranking first for the first time. At the same time, Apple's shipments fell by 3% to 5.8 million units, with a market share of 17%.
One reason for the popularity of Huawei's products is their affordable price. Data from "Comparative Method" shows that the average price of Huawei watches is $227, about half of Apple watches (413 dollars).
Many Japanese electronics stores said that Huawei products are selling strongly, and some older consumers who value functions choose Huawei watches as their first smartwatch.
Smartwatch models from Huawei with blood pressure monitoring features are also popular, and some children buy them as gifts for parents on the occasion of Respect for the Aged Day.
"Comparative Method" Japan branch manager Takemura Yoshihiko said: "Huawei's products are driven by the rapidly growing smartwatch market in China, and shipments are also increasing in Europe and other regions. It seems that Huawei's market share will continue to expand." (Translated by Liu Lin)
