Due to factors such as U.S. sanctions on its mobile phones and other businesses, Huawei expects annual shipments of smartphones to decline by about 20% this year, The Information reported citing sources familiar with the situation.
It is worth noting that this will be the first year-on-year decline in Huawei's mobile phone shipments.
In addition to US sanctions, the impact of existing new coronavirus outbreaks on China's manufacturing and retail industries could also make the situation worse.
In addition, due to various factors such as U.S. sanctions, Huawei has been unable to use Google Mobile services, which has also caused weak sales of its mobile phone business in Europe and other overseas markets.
Huawei surpassed Apple in smartphone shipments for the first time in 2019 and became the world's second largest smartphone manufacturer.
However, the failure of new mobile phones to obtain Google mobile service authorization has always been one of the constraints of its overseas mobile phone market.
