Huawei, the Chinese tech giant, is renowned for its wide variety of consumer grade products ranging from smartphones to even home appliances. But another field where the company excels is the telecommunications/router market; as a report from Omdia (formerly IHS Markit, known analytics and research institute) has revealed that its routers are leading the global carrier market for 2019.

According to the Omdia report, Huawei has maintained its dominance in the router market since 2018. This marks the second year in a row that the company achieved the top spot. Similarly, in the backbone router market, Huawei has maintained the top position for three consecutive years as well. Furthermore, 2019 also marked the first time Huawei routers took to top seat in the metro router market, making Huawei the No 1 in the global carrier market in the world.

For those unaware, Huawei is a pioneering figure in the telecommunications industry. It is a leader in 5G networking and its supplementing equipment and technologies, and the continued investments in the field have been the key factor leading to this achievement. Currently, the company is also working with various governments from across the globe that is adopting the newer faster bandwidth.

Omdia’s report specifically brings up the customer centric approach Huawei has in the market. Other notable phrases used to describe the company’s success included its innovative products, next generation protocols and solutions and more. The dominance in the router field has also been accredited to various growths in the 5G networking and cloud computing fields.

The NetEngine 8000 series from Huawei is the only router in the industry that supports the E2E 400GE standards. In other words, the company has launched cutting edge routers that have yet to see a viable rival competing against it. This series of routers are capable of handling ten fold increases in traffic while also maintaining affordable per bit costs for large scale businesses.

Simply put, Huawei has been a class leader in this field providing very competitive and viable products to other businesses as well. The company originally started developing routers back in 1995, and the 25 years’ worth of investment in R&D is clearly paying off now. As of right now, Huawei routers are spread across 130 different nations, providing intelligent IP networks and other solutions to various markets.

Samsung, the leading smartphone brand in the world, is now also the top manufacturer for smartphone displays. The South Korean tech giant is well known for its AMOLED displays which have helped it reclaim the number one spot in the smartphone display market in Q3 2019.

According to a new report from IHS Markit, Samsung accounted for about 29 percent of total smartphone display shipments in the third quarter of this year. In comparison, in Q2 2019 it only had a 21.3 percent market share. The sizeable jump in sales numbers has propelled Samsung to the top spot again beating out BOE displays for the first time since Q4 of 2018.

Samsung’s active matrix organic light emitting displays (or AMOLED) is becoming increasingly more popular with other smartphone manufacturers. David Hseih, Senior Director from IHS Markit also stated that more and more companies are quickly adopting the AMOLED technology for their mid to even high-end smartphone offerings. Many major brands including Apple, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and even Xiaomi have used AMOLED technology in their high-end models in 2019. Being the most seasoned and well-known supplier of AMOLED displays, the company has seen AMOLED shipments totaling 146 million units in Q3, up from 93 million from Q2 2019.

Notably, this also marked the first time AMOLED shipments had surpassed LTPS TFT LCD shipments (144 million). Hence, it implies the AMOLED demand in the market will only further increase and Samsung will be well utilizing this opportunity. Furthermore, other Chinese companies like BOE, Visionox, ChinaStar, Tianma, and EverDislpay will also seek to gain with their AMOLED offerings but will be nowhere near the South Korean veteran.

Foldable smartphones are gradually becoming a phenomenon that could soon take the industry by storm. The first real foldable device, the Royole Flexpai, was launched in China recently. The year 2019 has already been predicted to be the year of foldable smartphones just as 2018 was dominated by full-screen phone. Samsung has already revealed that it would be releasing a foldable phone. So too, the trio of LG, Huawei and OPPO have at one point or the order shown interests in foldable phones. Research firm IHS Markit has now predicted that the number of foldable AMOLED screens that will be shipped between now and 2025 will reach 50 million.

Despite the towering prediction, it shows the foldable design won’t be so popular as it will account for just 6% of expected total AMOLED shipments by 2025 (825 million). The foldable AMOLEDs are also expected to account for 11% of the total shipments of flexible AMOLED panels (476 million). According to Jerry Kang, a senior principal analyst at IHS Markit  Display Research, phone manufacturers are putting serious efforts in the aspect of smartphone designs, bringing in more innovativeness. This innovativeness is borne out of the need to shift focus from the traditional smartphone market due to saturation.

Jerry Kang also disclosed that smartphone manufacturers are rather cautious about launching a foldable smartphone due to concerns about durability especially when the panel is folded repeatedly. Thus, the shift to foldable AMOLED may indeed be a gradual one. The panel makers are expected to gradually increase their plant capacity utilization. Due to the low demand for traditional flexible AMOLED panels, suppliers expect smartphone brands to introduce foldable devices as early as possible. With a more optimistic attitude, some manufacturers are even considering investing in new factories to produce foldable AMOLED panels. IHS predicts that the supply capacity of flexible AMOLED panels will account for more than half of the total supply capacity of AMOLED panel by the fourth quarter of 2019.
