On October 31st, IT Home reported that TheLec quoted industry insiders as saying that Huawei has set a target of 100 million smartphone shipments next year, which is more than 40% higher than the current forecast of several market research companies (around 70 million units).

Industry insiders believe that Huawei's recently launched Mate60 series mobile phones have strong demand, which greatly accelerates Huawei's development pace. Huawei's annual smartphone shipment volume is expected to reach 40 to 50 million units this year, which is 30 to 70% higher than Huawei's shipment volume of 30 million units last year.

With the popularity of Huawei Mate60 series mobile phones, there has been a rush to purchase them domestically, and even a need to increase prices at one point. According to reports from Wall Street, authoritative market research institutions obtained from the supply chain show that for W36 (September 4th to September 10th), Huawei won the second place in the Chinese smartphone market with a sales market share of 17%.

It is said that due to the strong performance of Huawei's Mate60 series, coupled with the recent rapid launch of new products by Chinese smartphone manufacturers, the prices of OLEDs sold by Chinese panel manufacturers have slightly increased.

However, due to the overall downturn in the smartphone industry, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, and other Chinese smartphone manufacturers have had a low adoption rate of OLED panels, and Chinese panel manufacturers have also been selling OLED screens for mobile phones at prices close to manufacturing costs.

According to reports, the smartphone OLED prices of Chinese panel manufacturers have recently risen by $4-5 from their lowest point (IT Home note: currently around RMB 29-37).

Industry insiders estimate that after the peak season, prices will gradually decline by 1-2 US dollars, but they will still be 2-3 US dollars higher than historical lows, due to the high OLED adoption rate of Huawei smartphones. According to reports, the rise in smartphone OLED prices is led by JD. com.

Sources say that the OLED shipments of the Mate60 series have also recently increased. The OLED panel used in this series of phones is provided by two companies: BOE and VICINO. Due to recent expansion, the operating rate of Vicino's small and medium-sized OLED production line has increased.
