Whereas each analysis companies imagine Apple Watches have been much less profitable throughout this yr’s second calendar quarter in comparison with Q2 2023, the IDC’s 800K gross sales decline is way higher than the 400K drop tracked by Canalys. If the most recent numbers are to be trusted, the Cupertino-based tech large merely holds a 13.1 p.c share of the worldwide “wrist-worn system” market, rating in third place behind Huawei and Xiaomi.
That is an enormous benefit for Huawei over Apple and an enormous year-on-year progress for the market chief.
Apparently, Xiaomi’s gross sales are literally down in China and up worldwide, which suggests even stronger efficiency for each the corporate’s smartwatches and health bands on the previous continent.
Apple and particularly Samsung should not very huge in China.
Samsung, in the meantime, continues to have nearly no presence within the Chinese language wearable (and smartphone) market, which isn’t stopping the Korea-based large from rating fourth general for international wrist-worn system gross sales, proper behind Apple, forward of BBK, and on a really constructive development in comparison with Q2 2023.
