Huawei to lead 5G smartphone market with around 74 million unit production this year: TrendForce
More and more smartphone makers are stepping up their efforts to bring new 5G smartphones in the market. Recently, research from TrendForce indicates that in 2020, the total smartphone production will 1.24 billion units, of which 235 million units will be 5G enabled.
Among the 235 million units, Huawei will lead 2020 with the most 5G smartphone production volume of around 74 million units with around 31% of the total market share.
“Huawei has shifted its focus to the domestic Chinese market under the impact of U.S. sanctions and in preparation for China’s active 5G commercialization efforts.” wrote TrendForce.
Huawei will be followed by Apple, as its iPhone 12 series will be 5G ready and expected to produce about 70 million units this year, landing the company in second place.
Samsung comes third and has been experiencing setbacks in the Chinese market in recent years. Although these setbacks have not seriously affected its global market share and revenue, they have considerably slowed Samsung’s growth in the 5G smartphone market.
“As Huawei’s aggressive domestic expansion in the past few years has compressed the market shares of the three brands in the Chinese market, they have been actively focusing on increasing overseas market shares to maintain their yearly production performances.” says the researcher.
Mid-to-low end 5G chipset to contribute in the rise of 5G smartphones in 2021.
TrendForce’s 2021 forecast reveals that an aggressive push by mobile processor manufacturers will lead to the rapidly increasing presence of 5G chipsets in the mid-to-low end market.
This evolution in 5G chipset will drive 5G smartphone production to surpass 500 million units in 2021, which will potentially account for about 40% of the total smartphone market.
Once the 5G chipset price reaches a stable range, the phone makers will gain more share in the 5G smartphone market by reducing the price of the 5G smartphones at around RMB1000 ($140).

Last week, Huawei Founder, Ren Zhengfei revealed that Huawei has developed its own MetaERP management system. On this, a leading Chinese EPR company, UFIDA reacted to Huawei MetaERP.
UFIDA said that the market has over-interpreted the MetaERP from Huawei. From an industry perspective, it will take at least three to five years for ERP products to mature.
From the perspective of the current competitive landscape, Huawei’s own products are mostly used internally by the company. Whether they can be replicated and promoted in batches in the future has a lot to do with it. There could be some factors that may affect the entire scenario.
UFIDA said that Huawei’s self-developed ERP has little impact because ERP is not a simple tool software. However, it involves a whole set of links such as the design process, experience extraction, and implementation delivery.
Whether it is a Chinese or foreign ERP company, it takes decades of development to form a certain market size. Huawei is not the first company in China to enter ERP, which fully demonstrates the market value of ERP.
Huawei MetaERP:
Previously, Ren Zhengfei revealed in his speech that in April this year, Huawei’s MetaERP will take an oath, completely using its own operating system, database, compiler, and language to make its own management system MetaERP software.
MetaERP has also experienced the actual application test of various departments of the company around the world and passed the annual settlement test of the company’s general ledger use.
Many design tools are also released to the public on Huawei Cloud, gradually overcoming the embarrassment of supply interruption.
We don’t know much about UFIDA’s viewports but developing a management tool that’s helpful to Huawei itself is an important task to deliver. As the company doesn’t need to rely on other companies to give this service and save money. Huawei has not announced the commercial use of such software for third-party businesses.
Don’t worry guys, Huawei is not taking your work.
