Huawei: It managed to put Apple in second place, despite its problems with the United States

Η Huawei managed to throw her Apple, in second place in terms of sales for its fourth quarter 2019.

Σaccording to a new report Counterpoint Research, Apple could not withstand the pressure from Huawei which eventually became the second best-selling Smartphone maker for 2019.

Samsung continues to remain at the top, but Huawei does not stop approaching it every year.

Huawei's overall performance for 2019 was stable, despite the ongoing embargo from the US, and the company's market share increased from 14% to 16%, while Apple's fell from 14% to 13%, despite reduced market share, Apple revenue from the iPhone increased for the first time since September 2018.

Huawei's success is largely due to its performance in its home country of China, which accounts for about 60% of the company's total sales, with Huawei claiming to hold a whopping 40% of its total market in China.

For now, Huawei's problems with the US government have not hindered global sales too much, but in the future this may change if the situation continues for a long time to come.

It will be interesting to see what Huawei can do in a few years, as it has already overtaken Apple, and that in itself is a huge achievement - given the current political conditions with the US - and at the current pace. development that the company is aware of, Huawei looks like it could soon surpass even Samsung.

This, of course, will happen if it manages to deter future US attacks, and continues to gain market share inside and outside China.
