As we have already reported, Xiaomi recently released its Q2 report. In addition to the financial figures, including $13.5 billion in revenue, the report included data showing how quickly the number of users of Xiaomi products is growing. In particular, the Chinese manufacturer reported that as of June 2021, the number of active MIUI users grew by 32.1% year on year and reached 453.8 million.
Notably, the number of monthly active users in mainland China reached 124 million, up 13.0% from last year. In other words, growth is mainly driven by promotions in other countries.
The number of active users of Xiaomi smart TVs and set-top boxes worldwide grew by more than 34.0% year-on-year. As of the end of June, Xiaomi TV’s paid subscribers reached 4.7 million, up 17.1% year-on-year.
Xiaomi announced yesterday that it has acquired Deepmotion for around $77 million. The Chinese company Deepmotion, founded four years ago, specializes in the development of self-driving technologies. If we compare this message with the recent information that Xiaomi wants to buy a large part of the electric vehicle division of the Evergrande Group, it becomes clear that the implementation of the plans outlined in March is well underway.
Recall that at that time, the company’s board of directors approved the establishment of a «smart electric vehicle business», and it was revealed that the company plans to invest $100 million in the project over the next 10 years. The importance of the new line of business is evidenced by the fact that it has been led by Xiaomi Chairman Lei Jun.

Counterpoint Research has announced changes to the smartphone market in China, which is the world’s largest mobile device. The leader in the first and second quarters was Vivo with a score of 24%.
In the second quarter, Vivo sold about 18.3 million smartphones in China, up from 14.1 million a year earlier. In second place in the ranking of top players is Oppo with a figure of about 21%. Xiaomi closes the top three, controlling 17% of the Chinese smartphone market.
These companies have benefited the most from Huawei, which has been hit hard by the tough sanctions imposed by the United States. If in the second quarter of last year this company controlled more than 30% of the Chinese smartphone market, then in the second quarter of this year its share fell to 8%. Judging by the published chart, Honor is slightly ahead of the former parent company Huawei.
Counterpoint Research believes that with the return of Honor and further strengthening of Xiaomi in offline channels, there will be fierce competition between Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, Honor and Apple in the Chinese smartphone market in the coming days.
