Chinese handset maker Xiaomi Corp nearly tripled its smartphone shipments in the second quarter, beating longtime market leader Samsung Electronics Co Ltd in China, the world's largest smartphone market, an industry report said.
Analysts said the rapid rise of homegrown smartphone brands is inevitable, as Apple Inc and Samsung are the only overseas vendors to have a sizable market share in the country.
Xiaomi, based in Beijing, shipped 15 million devices from April to June in China, taking 14 percent of the nation's market share, according to Canalys. Samsung's shipments in China were a little more than 13 million in the same period.
"This is a phenomenal achievement for Xiaomi," said Wang Jingwen, a Shanghai-based Canalys researcher.
"The 4-year-old company has executed its strategy to grow volume shipments. It has delivered compelling products at aggressive price points, focused chiefly on its locally relevant operating system features and services, backed by effectively targeted marketing," she said.
Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun said last month he aims to sell 60 million smartphones before the end of this year. Most of the sales will come from the Chinese mainland. Up to 97 percent of Xiaomi's second-quarter shipments were in the mainland, according to Canalys.
Analysts said overseas vendors are likely to become niche players in the long run while mainstream demand will be fulfilled by local companies.
Eight out of the top 10 smartphone vendors in China were local brands in the second quarter, according to Canalys. Local companies, led by Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and Lenovo Group Ltd, took more than 70 percent of the market share in the three-month period. Although Apple and Samsung made their way into the top 10 list, the companies' total shipments took only 18 percent of market share, it said.
Chinese consumers buy roughly 100 million smartphones each quarter.
However, Chinese companies may find it hard to become global players.
Although Xiaomi announced plans to tap into other emerging markets, including Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Thailand and Turkey, its overseas shipments remain small.
Xiaomi's aggressive pricing model will resonate beyond China, but the challenge it faces in scaling its model for success on the global stage should not be underestimated, said Jessica Kwe, a Canalys analyst based in Singapore.
Bryan Wang, principal analyst and country manager at Forrester Research Inc, said Xiaomi should focus on emerging markets when chasing overseas buyers to avoid direct conflict with such top-tier brands as Samsung.
Weaker mobile phone subsidiaries in countries like India and Indonesia will give the Chinese company a friendly environment in which to expand, he said.
Xiaomi's latest target market is India. It launched an online selling campaign there of its entry-level devices in July.
Huawei, Lenovo and other smaller Chinese companies also are eyeing emerging markets, such as Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, to drive shipments outside China.
In the second quarter, the total smartphone shipments of Huawei and Lenovo accounted for less than one-third of Apple's and Samsung's combined shipments, according to industry consultancy IDC.

The secret is out; everyone loves Florida because it is a beautiful place to live. For one of the best places in the state, Tampa is the place. That’s the primary reason many people choose to make this beautiful city their home, and also why homes in Tampa receive great attention. It is true that the historic beauty of this city is a great reason to choose to live here, but there are many other reasons too. One thing is for sure, families containing school children will be assured of finding a good education for them, but still that only some of what brings them here.
Tampa attracts people with high paying jobs as well. While there have been many jobs lost throughout the nation, but there is still reason to cheer when it comes to working in Tampa. New jobs that are being created often offer salaries of $46,000 or more and it looks like that average is going to be going up.
As a matter of fact in 2009 H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute and the pharmaceutical company Merck and Co. created a joint company that is intended to develop drugs to treat cancer. That move has brought 170 jobs to the area, and these bioscience jobs have come with an average salary of $80,000. That means that this one venture in Hillsborough County will bring an additional $1 billion to the economy in the coming years.
Word has it that there will be another phase added to this endeavor soon, meaning that homes will soon see another influx of home buyers. This is particularly good news after considering everything offered in the area. While Tampa is near the coast, it could be difficult to imagine activities enjoyed by families other than soaking up the sun and loving water activities. However, there are lots of other attractions when touring the area. The art shows attract many throughout the year, where exhibitors share their talent and hard work with the locals.
Homes can be found in a variety of communities and at affordable prices to please the many tastes that choose to make this city their home.

Some people choose to locate investment property where they can place renters in to turn a property.
There are many styles and sizes of homes which can be bought in a variety of ways and for a variety of prices. Some buyers select homes that have been repossessed or are in foreclosure, which save a good deal of money. Others purchase luxury homes and live the e. |
