The Chinese manufacturer has been named as "the Chinese Apple", however it seems that not everything is in its favor during this year 2016. Although it has made almost as much noise as other years, the reality is that the health in terms of sales of the company is worse than ever. Xiaomi sees its sales plummet during 2016, their mobile devices are sold 38% less than last year. This first half of the year is being disastrous for Xiaomi, without more, the competition in China is brutal, and the devices it offers lately are not as characteristic or as cheap as they were in the past, Will it be the end of Xiaomi?
The Asian company has suffered a drop in sales that touches 40% during this first semester according to the analyst firm IDC. Its terminals still do not reach the western markets, where presumably they would cease to be attractive due to the imposing price increase when paying the corresponding fees and taxes. However, the fact that their products are not officially represented does not allow the western media to talk and talk about the company, not to mention the alternative acquisition channels of all kinds of company devices, because we remember that Xiaomi also manufactures smart bracelets and scales, among many other things ...
This drop in sales is not new, it began last year, when they expected the sale of 100 million devices, and they were only 70 million. Something like what happened to Nintendo with the Nintendo Wii U, sales overestimation, which end up in piles of unsold stock and a river of money that falls through the Xiaomi offices. According to IDC, Xiaomi has lost a lot of power in China, its main market, and the fashion has passed, now other brands like Oppo and Meizu grow to an incredible level, not to mention Huawei, a company with international representation and prestige. It may be time to say goodbye to Xiaomi as we know it.
