Realme’s stratospheric growth is only overshadowed by Apple (and from far away)

Realme maintains the pulse of its record growth and Apple does not understand global crises. Both are growing strongly in this course 2021.

Facing the important end-of-year campaign, with the biggest discount periods looming and also Christmas looming around the corner, it is interesting to see how the market has evolved now that the third quarter is over and industry experts publish their analysis.

It is the case of Counterpoint Research, which in recent days has let us glimpse that I was really serious about becoming the new Xiaomi, expanding its milestones after signing the fastest growth in the entire history of the industry, now presenting a 682% YoY increase in market share in China.

The realme 8 Pro, one of the most interesting smartphones of the Chinese manufacturer.

The truth is only Apple keeps up with them to those of Shenzhen, with 48% year-on-year growth although if we look at the quarterly data, in Cupertino they are not for parties either since they lose 9%.

In any case, it is curious to see how in China the market is tyrannized by local firms, only with the apple company slipping with a creditable fifth place after vivo, OPPO, Honor and Xiaomi. Market shares are widely spread, indeed, and alive leads with 23% of share growing 21% year-on-year.

Important detail is to see how most manufacturers grow despite the context of shortages of chips and components, except obviously for a Huawei fallen from grace since the veto of the United States and its old spin-off Honor, which still has year-on-year losses of 7% in market share, although in the short term it is already growing 96% quarter-on-quarter after starting his new journey independently.

For its part, Huawei drops to sixth place unable to maintain its production chain without the possibility of buying North American technology, now keeping 8% of the market and falling no less than 77% compared to 2020.

The Chinese market is probably the strangest and most competitive in the world, although it does allow us to draw conclusions such as that it really is very serious in the market, its commitment to the high end is already alive and the agreement with ZEISS has been more than good for them.

This is how you should choose your next realme mobile according to the CEO of the brand

Taking ideas from these data seems to confirm that the live bet for the noblest rank on the market is coming out round, with agreements with ZEISS that have led them at the forefront of mobile photography and a vivo X70 Pro + that cannot be bought in Spain officially, but that is among the best smartphones of 2021 without a doubt.

The other most important idea is that Realme continues to his, signing stratospheric growth while also growing your catalog with new options at affordable prices, democratizing next-generation connectivity and making a name for himself at breakneck speed among the giants of the sector.

To close the analysis, it should be noted that smartphone sales are already growing again in the short term, although in China the market fell by 9% year-on-year if we look at the global figures. In addition, 5G mobiles are already the majority supply and demand of consumers, and Apple is still the manufacturer that sells the most 5G mobiles even if he was a year late in the new generation.
