It has been rumored that Oppo may withdraw from Europe for a while. BBK Electronics, the parent company of Oppo and OnePlus, stated that they have no such plans. However, according to information from local sources, Oppo has officially withdrawn from France. It is also reconsidering its strategy in Europe.
Oppo is leaving the French market for now
Oppo has officially announced its exit from France. While it cited the inability to find a new distributor as the reason for leaving the country, analysts believe there are more reasons. At this stage, distribution with third-party distributors is expected.
The company recently won a patent dispute against Nokia in France, eliminating the risk of a ban in Europe. Despite winning the case, it makes the statements of exiting France due to distributor problems suspicious.
Opoo’s withdrawal from France comes on the heels of the closure of its website in Germany. This may signal a strategic departure from the European market.
It should be noted that sales are currently continuing in both countries. There is no word on when sales will stop, but it looks like it wants to finish stocks in France and Germany.
Oppo and OnePlus have been under investigation in Europe for years for alleged links to the Chinese government. The withdrawal from key European markets such as France and Germany seems to be aimed at reducing the risks in the region.
On the other hand, Oppo stated that it remains committed to Europe and will continue its activities in other countries. The company is reportedly looking for a new partner to re-enter France when conditions are favorable.
