As the technology sector continues to grow day by day, the leaders of the sector have also started to change. The global conditions that have developed in recent months may have caused Chinese manufacturers to take the lead. With the announcement of the first quarter reports of the year, we see that Samsung and Apple have declined in smartwatch sales and Chinese companies such as Xiaomi have increased. Here are the details.

Xiaomi showed 53 percent growth in smartwatch shipments

In recent weeks, two reports emerged about smartwatch shipments in the first quarter of the year. While the report stated that Samsung was in the top three, a new report released today stated that Samsung was in fourth place.

According to the research, Samsung has a 7 percent share in global smartwatch shipments and is in fourth place. Apple is in first place with a 20 percent share, Huawei is in second place with 16 percent, and Xiaomi is in third place with 10 percent. In the annual change, Samsung and Apple experienced a 9 percent loss in shipments, respectively.

The rest of the list, surprisingly, is Chinese companies Xiaomi and Huawei, which showed a 53 percent growth. imoo also achieved 23 percent growth. This shows that Samsung, which had a 9 percent share in the first quarter of last year, experienced a decrease of approximately 18 percent. However, Samsung is not alone and Apple also experienced a loss of 9 percent.

Prices may be among the reasons why brands such as Xiaomi and Huawei stand out. Because Chinese brands usually bring more affordable products to the user. However, Samsung can be expected to increase its market share again with the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra 2 products that it is preparing to announce at the Galaxy Unpacked event to be held in the coming days.
