Domestic mobile phone development trend in 2016: brand premium battle into breakthrough path

In 2016, the development trends of domestic mobile phone brands were marked by a shift from low-end competition to high-end positioning. By the end of 2015, major manufacturers like Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO had already achieved significant market shares, with Huawei surpassing 100 million smartphone shipments, Xiaomi exceeding 70 million units, and OPPO selling over 45 million smartphones. Despite these impressive numbers, low profit margins remained a major challenge for Chinese phone makers. Faced with shrinking margins, many companies began to move away from price wars and focus on premium branding. This strategy aimed to enhance brand value and achieve higher profitability. According to a report from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, while domestic smartphone shipments exceeded 500 million in 2015, only less than 2% of devices priced above 4,000 yuan were sold, highlighting the industry’s struggle with profitability. At the Geek Park Innovation Conference, Luo Yonghao, founder of Smartisan, pointed out that the "internet phone bubble" was bursting, as many manufacturers were selling phones at low prices with little or no profit. He emphasized that only those who could capture higher ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) through channel monetization could sustain themselves. Similarly, Li Nan from Meizu warned that focusing solely on price-performance ratios was risky, as consumers were now more concerned with design, user experience, service, and brand reputation. Wang Yanhui, secretary-general of the China Mobile Alliance, noted that the traditional internet model overemphasized price-performance, which led to intense competition and weak profitability. Meanwhile, consumers were increasingly valuing brand premiums, especially when upgrading their devices. As a result, moving toward high-end and premium models became a common strategy among domestic brands. The offline channel also emerged as a key battleground in 2015. While online sales declined, offline channels saw a significant rise. For example, LeTV partnered with Dixintong, and Meizu expanded its offline stores to over 2,000 locations. Many experts believed that the online sales ceiling had been reached, and with rising marketing costs, it was no longer a sustainable competitive advantage. Offline presence, combined with strong distribution networks, played a vital role in the success of brands like Huawei, OPPO, and vivo. As domestic brands grew stronger, they began to expand into international markets. India became a testing ground for companies like Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, and Vivo, while brands such as Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, and TCL made inroads in Europe and the U.S. However, patent issues continued to be a major obstacle, and domestic manufacturers still needed to overcome these challenges. In 2016, strengthening brand identity, improving product quality, and achieving profitability became key strategies for domestic phone manufacturers. Companies like Huawei, OPPO, and Meizu showcased innovations such as advanced chip technology, secure systems, fast charging, and premium designs. These efforts helped them stand out in an increasingly competitive market. Looking ahead, the integration of mobile phones with smart homes, car networking, and the industrial internet was seen as a promising direction. As the industry evolved, domestic brands needed to continue innovating and adapting to meet changing consumer demands.
