This is attributable to the strong cooperation between smart phones and the mobile Internet, capitalizing on the rapid development of mobile terminal functions. The mobile Internet is the underlying contributor to the competitive environment of the entire Chinese smartphone industry. Xiaomi began its operations with the launch of its Android-based firmware MIUI (pronounced “Me You I”) in August 2010; a modified and hardcoded user interface, incorporating features from Apple’s IOS and Samsung’s TouchWizUI. As of 2018, Xiaomi is the world’s fourth largest smartphone manufacturer, and it has expanded its products and services to include a wider range of consumer electronics and a smart home device ecosystem. It is a company focused on developing new- generation smartphone software, and Xiaomi operated a successful mobile Internet business. Xiaomi has three core products: Mi Chat, MIUI and Xiaomi smartphones. This paper will use business management models from PEST, Porter’s five forces and SWOT to analyze the internal and external environment of Xiaomi. Finally, the paper evaluates whether Xiaomi has a strategic model of sustainable development, strategic flaws and recommend some suggestions to overcome them.

Handset ODM Industry White Paper 02 Handset ODM market review and outlook In 2019, the global smartphone market shipped 1.38 billion units, down 2.2% year-over- year (YoY). The mature markets such as North America, South America, Western Europe, and China all declined. China’s market though is going through a transition period from 4G to 5G, and the shipments of mid- to high-end 4G smartphone models fell sharply in 2H19. China’s market shipped 361 million smartphones in 2019, a YoY decline of 7.6%. In the early stage of 5G switching, the operator's network coverage was insufficient. Consequently, 5G chipset restrictions led to excessive costs, and expectations of 5G led to short-term consumption suppression. The proportion of 5G smartphone shipments was relatively small while shipments of mid- to high-end 4G models declined sharply. The overall shipment of smartphones from Chinese mobile phone manufacturers reached 733 million units, an increase of 4.2% YoY.

  • The Impact of China's Policies on Global Semiconductor
    Moore’s Law Under Attack: The Impact of China’s Policies on Global Semiconductor Innovation STEPHEN EZELL | FEBRUARY 2021 China’s mercantilist strategy to grab market share in the global semiconductor industry is fueling the rise of inferior innovators at the expense of superior firms in the United States and other market-led economies. That siphons away resources that would otherwise be invested in the virtuous cycle of cutting-edge R&D that has driven semiconductor innovation for decades. KEY TAKEAWAYS ▪ No industry has an innovation dynamic quite like the semiconductor industry, where “Moore’s Law” has held for decades: The number of transistors on a microchip doubles about every two years, producing twice the processing power at half the cost. ▪ The pattern persists because the semiconductor industry vies with biopharmaceuticals to be the world’s most R&D-intensive industry—a virtuous cycle that depends on one generation of innovation to finance investment in the next. ▪ To continue heavy investment in R&D and CapEx, semiconductor firms need access to large global markets where they can compete on fair terms to amortize and recoup their costs. When they face excess, non-market-based competition, innovation suffers. ▪ China’s state-directed strategy to vault into a leadership position in the semiconductor industry distorts the global market with massive subsidization, IP theft, state-financed foreign firm acquisitions, and other mercantilist practices. ▪ Inferior innovators thus have a leg up—and the global semiconductor innovation curve is bending downward. In fact, ITIF estimates there would be 5,100 more U.S. patents in the industry annually if not for China’s innovation mercantilist policies.
