According to a new report, Huawei is planning to ship out 100 million smartphones in 2024. This information comes from The Elec, a Korean publication.
The Huawei Mate 60 series seems to be the main reason behind this decision. The company’s latest flagship smartphones have been quite popular since launch, boosting Huawei’s plans for next year.
Huawei is very optimistic, it’s planning to ship 100 million smartphones in 2024
How does this compare to this year? Well, it’s quite a difference. Huawei expected to ship out 40-50 million smartphones by the end of this year, as things are going now. So its goal for next year is basically to ship twice as many phones as this year.
Just to be clear, this year is also an improvement to the previous one. Huawei is expected a 30-70% boost compared to 2022 in terms of sales.
That being said, while Huawei is expecting to ship out 100 million smartphones next year, several market research companies expect that number to be around 70 million.
The company is still affected by the US ban
As many of you already know, Huawei is still affected by the US ban. The company is still selling a ton of smartphones in its homeland, but its sales abroad are nowhere near where they used to be.
The lack of Google Play Services and access to the Google Play Store managed to do some damage, as did other aspects of the US ban. Still, Huawei is still making outstanding phones, and has developed its own ecosystem of apps. On top of that, it allows you to access app repositories via Petal Search.
Huawei is also making progress in other areas, as it’s working with SMIC to improve the chip situation.
It remains to be seen what will the actual sales numbers be next year, but Huawei is very optimistic. We’re expecting the Huawei P70 series to arrive in 2024, along with the Huawei Mate 70 series, and the Mate X4.
