On July 7, according to a reporter's report, in response to the news that Xiaomi, a Chinese smartphone enterprise, has begun to produce smartphones in Vietnam, a Xiaomi spokesman responded that the news is true. The Vietnamese factory was completed and put into operation in June 2021, and Xiaomi mobile phones produced by Vietnam OEM began to be sold in June this year. According to the report, the spokesman of Xiaomi also stressed that setting up a factory in Vietnam is only one of the company's product layouts in Southeast Asia, not the entire production and supply chain moving to Vietnam. Xiaomi has a global supply chain, "but for Xiaomi, the most important thing has always been the domestic supply chain". The localization rate of parts and technologies of Xiaomi mobile phones and eco chain products has been steadily improving for many years. "At present, no overseas country can replace China's supply chain cluster, which should be the consensus of the whole industry.". It is reported that Xiaomi previously mainly produced smartphones in China and India. However, after the global epidemic in 2020, the supply chain became chaotic, which had a huge impact on sales. In order to decentralize the production base, it was decided to carry out production in northern Vietnam, which is easy to be transferred from China. According to Nikkei Chinese network, Vietnam has a population of nearly 100million. The rapid development of mobile Internet and e-commerce has driven the rise of the local smart phone market. In 2021, the smart phone market in Vietnam increased by 11.9% year-on-year, and the sales volume of mobile phones reached 15.9 million. Canalys data shows that from January to March 2022, Xiaomi ranked second in Vietnam in terms of smartphone sales, with a sales share of 22%, second only to Samsung Electronics, a Korean mobile phone brand with a sales share of 34%, and slightly higher than oppo, a Chinese brand with a sales share of 17%.
