At a recent Huawei Mate 30 press conference, Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business, said that if the US ban were to be lifted, Huawei’s mobile phone shipments would exceed 300 million units this year. On top of this, he also announced that despite the bans in place, Huawei’s mobile business has continued to grow, and they’ve retained their 2nd spot worldwide.
Richard Yu also announced the company’s sales records from January to August this year: smartphone shipments increased by 26%, notebooks increased by 249%, smart audio increased by 256 percent, and smart wear increased by 278%. These are some pretty good numbers, but they also took place before the ban so it’s possible we’ll see a decline later.

In the Hong Kong market, Huawei’s also be growing pretty well. In the first eight months of 2019, Huawei’s mobile phone market share in Hong Kong averaged 22.8%, sales increased by more than 40% year-on-year, and the sales growth rate of new products such as smart watches and wearable devices reached 110%.
This is also actually corroborated by Richard himself as according to him, if the trade war had not taken place, the Huawei P30 series would have already exceeded 20 million shipments. It’s interesting to see how Huawei has been growing as of late, and we’re eager to see how things turn out later in the future for them.
