Huawei loses more than 80% of its market share during 2021

 Not too long ago, Huawei was in a state of full international expansion, and with signs of entering the US market through operators such as AT&T. But Donald Trump's government has cut everything off with its veto, which it is promoting on national security grounds.

We've talked a lot about how Huawei has been affected by its inability to rely on Google apps and services (as well as its inability to use 5G chips in its mobile phones) but now sales figures for 2021 illustrate the big impact.

Mobile device manufacturers rarely indicate units sold, but estimates can be made based on which devices are sent to suppliers for sale.

Of these figures, Omdia, a consultancy, estimated an 81% decline in Huawei sales in 2021 compared to 2020.

The Chinese company went from selling 189.7 million mobile phones in 2020, fighting with Apple and Samsung for the top spots, to selling 35 million in 2021 and staying in the bottom ranks.

Its market share increased from 15% to 3%, with Apple and Xiaomi benefiting the most since Samsung remained the same.

Other companies such as Vivo, Realme and OPPO have increased their sales, although it is not enough to occupy the top 3 brands in the ranking, at least for the time being.

Huawei is currently focusing on markets in emerging countries due to its cheaper devices.
