Xiaomi Stores Expansion Worldwide

Due to the Impressive 96.9% Growth in Shipment of Xiaomi in 4th Quarter of 2017 which made it ranked top 4 among other smartphone companies, Xiaomi continued to expand its retail presence by adding more preferred partners, launching new Mi stores, and partnering with large format retail stores.

Smartphone vendors shipped a total of 430.7 million smartphones worldwide in Q4 2017, down 6.3 percent from the 403.5 million units in Q4 2016. Of the top five (Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo), only one (Xiaomi) managed to ship more units. That said, Apple and Samsung both still gained share overall, thanks to smaller players shipping even fewer units.

Xiaomi continued its relentless rise, almost doubling smartphone shipments from a year ago. Xiaomi managed to double its share to 7% from 3.3% during the holiday quarter last year. This comes as no surprise since the company has continued to focus on growth outside China, with India and Russia being two of its largest markets. The company has been expanding its number of Mi Stores and Mi Service Centers, with fast buildout coming in markets like Indonesia.

It also appointed Lazada to be the official online store and partnered with Indosat to offer a telco bundling package, where consumers can get Xiaomi's smartphone for free by purchasing a data package for a one-year period. In India, Xiaomi also launched Redmi Y-series in India and roped in Bollywood celebrity Katrina Kaif to endorse the selfie-centric smartphone series as its first product endorser. The Redmi 5A, which was launched at US$78, saw more than a million devices being sold within a month.
