Chinese mobile phone maker Xiaomi has raised US$3.9 billion in Hong Kong’s largest-ever top-up share sale. The company is looking to raise cash to allow it to expand at a time it is winning business away from rival Huawei Technologies.

Xiaomi shares, listed as HK:1810 with a U.S. ADR XIACY, were briefly suspended in morning trading Wednesday in Hong Kong. Details of the offer were announced at lunchtime, a weird break from the normal after-the-close practice.

  • Xiaomi is reportedly aiming to ship between 240 million and 300 million smartphones in 2021.
  • It’s believed that the latter target likely won’t be achieved due to supply chain constraints.

Xiaomi has enjoyed a stellar 2020 thus far, owing to the combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, Huawei’s US-induced slide, and a focus on new markets. The company has passed Apple for third place in Q3 2020, and it seems to be closing in on Huawei too.

Now, Nikkei Asian Review reports that the firm has some incredibly ambitious goals for 2021. The outlet reports that Xiaomi has been talking to suppliers to order parts for up to 240 million smartphones, citing sources close to the matter.

It’s believed that this number not only exceeds Xiaomi’s annual shipments to date, but would be roughly equivalent to Huawei’s record high of 240.6 million smartphone shipped in

[email protected]_84

Smartphone sales to end-users totaled 366 million units in Q3, down 5.7 percent from the third quarter of 2019, according to Gartner. Overall global mobile phone sales totaled 401 million units, a decline of 8.7 percent year-over-year. After two consecutive quarters of a decline of 20 percent, quarterly smartphone sales started to show signs of recovery sequentially. However, smartphone sales continued weaker compared to the same period in in 2019, even with vendors introducing multiple 5G smartphones and governments relaxing shelter-in-place instructions in some geographies.

Global smartphone sales experienced moderate growth from the second quarter of 2020 to the third quarter due to pent-up demand from previous quarters, the researchers noted. 

Economic uncertainties and continued fear of the next wave of the pandemic are expected to continue to put pressure on non-essential spending through the end of 2020. The delay in 5G network upgrades also limited the opportunity for smartphone

Xiaomi overtakes Apple as third biggest smartphone vendor

[email protected]_84

With all that has happened this year, you’d think that the smartphone market has drastically changed over the past few months. Some might have expected Huawei to sink and Apple to reclaim its throne as the world’s Top 2. The smartphone market as a whole did shrink a bit and Huawei did lose market share but not enough for Apple to recover. In fact, the Cupertino-based company sunk even lower, allowing Xioami to finally take over a coveted Number 3 spot.

As a whole, the smartphone market in the third quarter of 2020 declined by 5.7%, at least compared to the same period last year. That said, this is actually a good period for the industry compared to the previous two quarters as companies, factories, and consumers start to get back on their feet after months of lockdowns and restrictions.

Not all phone makers, however, had a good quarter and,
