| Huawei is working to reduce the effects of the Corona virus on phone sales |
Huawei has played down the impact of the spread of the Corona virus on sales of its smartphones, as the largest Chinese mobile phone manufacturer is optimistic about the effects of the virus that led to the outbreak of the entire smartphone industry.
Apple has warned that sales due to the closing of factories and stores are expected to decline, while Samsung, the world's largest mobile phone maker, is less affected today as half of its production is moved to Vietnam.
Huawei is the second largest mobile phone manufacturer after Apple and surpasses Apple (Samsung is the largest mobile phone).
"We are still doing a daily evaluation, but we can say that at home," Ryan Ding, CEO of Huawei, downplayed the impact of the virus on the company's fate in a statement to Business Insider saying this week. The next three in six months, we will have no major impact on the global supply chain. "
Mr. Ding admitted that the Wuhan factory in Hubei Province was closed, but said that the Huawei plant in Guangdong Province in Hubei Province had now reopened, but some factories in Wuhan had not resumed operations.
Based on the current situation, we assume that this will not have much impact on our supply chain and manufacturing capacity in the near future.
"Given the extent to which Huawei and other Chinese brands rely on their supply chains, it is hard to believe that operations will resume as usual," said analyst Carolina Milanese.
She added: "The lack of Huawei factories in Hubei Province is not a problem, but the problem is that, regardless of the fact that many cities that are implemented are closed and their impact on performance, Huawei can limit the number of people who travel to the province no longer To work ".
Forwester analyst Thomas Husson said: "With isolation and restrictions affecting consumer behavior, Huawei's activity can continue to decline given Apple's larger Chinese market share."
Incredibly, Huawei sales will not be affected by Corona virus, because the company's activities in China are greater than Apple and China accounts for more than 50% of its sales, even if China includes the virus within a few weeks. It also takes two to two months for several months for the process to return to normal.
