The Huawei Mate X's Shine: A Complete Smartphone Industry Chain in China as the Key

The Huawei Mate X, the world's first mass-produced tri-fold phone, quickly sold out upon its release, attracting widespread attention. Looking back at the history of smartphones, it's not hard to see that Samsung had previously released a tri-fold concept phone, but it never managed to achieve mass production and sales. In contrast, behind Huawei's achievement of mass production of tri-fold phones is the strong support of China's powerful smartphone industry chain.

According to Qichacha's industry chain data, China has over 60,000 smartphone industry chain companies, with Guangdong province alone boasting over 48,000 related companies. The breadth of coverage of the industry chain is astonishing. In terms of industry chain nodes, there are over 23,000 companies related to "components and operating systems" in the upstream, covering key links such as chip design, screen manufacturing, and battery production. In the midstream, over 19,000 companies are engaged in "smartphone and supporting manufacturing," responsible for phone assembly, software development, and after-sales services. This vast and complete industry chain system provides Huawei with a solid foundation in technology and supply chain.

From chip design to screen manufacturing, from battery production to software development, China's smartphone industry chain companies cover all key links in phone production, forming a highly efficient and collaborative ecosystem. It is thanks to the strong support of this ecosystem that Huawei was able to quickly complete the research and development, production, and sales of tri-fold phones, ultimately achieving mass production and market release.

It is worth noting that China's powerful smartphone industry chain not only provides Huawei with technological and supply chain guarantees but also lays a solid foundation for the overall development of China's smartphone industry. In recent years, Chinese smartphone brands have achieved great success in the global market, becoming a significant force in the global smartphone market. This is inseparable from the rapid development and improvement of China's smartphone industry chain.

Looking forward, China's smartphone industry chain will continue to maintain rapid growth momentum, providing even stronger support for Chinese smartphone brands to enter the global market. With the continuous development and application of 5G technology, the smartphone industry will usher in new development opportunities, and China's smartphone industry chain will play an even more important role in this process.
