Huawei shipments could fall by up to a quarter this year
Smartphone shipments at Huawei, the world’s second-largest smartphone maker by volume, could tumble between 4 percent and 24 percent in 2019 if the ban stays put, according to Fubon Research and Strategy Analytics.
Several experts said they expect Huawei’s shipments to slide over the next six months but declined to give a hard estimate due to uncertainties surrounding the ban. The US Commerce Department blocked Huawei from buying US goods last week amid its escalating trade spat with China.
The ban applies to goods and services with 25 per cent or more of US-originated technology or materials, and may, therefore, affect non-American firms. Tech companies including Google and SoftBank Group-owned chip designer ARM have said they will cease supplies and updates to Huawei.
“Huawei may be wiped out of the Western European smartphone market next year if it loses access to Google,” said Linda Sui, director of wireless smartphone strategies at Strategy Analytics. She predicts Huawei handset shipments will decline another 23 per cent next year but believes the company could survive on the sheer size of the China market.

Huawei officially announced the new FreeBuds Pro 4 headphones. This is the first TWS headset equipped with HarmonyOS NEXT and will be officially launched at the Huawei Mate Brand Festival on November 26.
