Detailed SWOT Analysis of Xiaomi
Strength
1. Wide spectrum of smartphones and other devices offered to consumers: Xiaomi has a variety of smartphones at different prices in its portfolio, catering to different types of customers. Also, the company is not entirely dependent on the smartphone business and it is diversifying into various consumer electronics products like smart TV, fitness bands, notebooks, air purifier, water purifier etc. This related diversification can ensure the survival of the company if the smartphone business is severely dented by the high competition from Samsung and Xiaomi’s fellow Chinese brands like Oppo, Vivo and Huawei. It would also help in having a future ecosystem of interconnected Xiaomi product in consumers’ homes where one Xiaomi smart device interacts with another smart device to fulfill consumer needs. For example, the smartphone might be used as a remote for the smart TV. This kind of interconnection would create a lock in for the customer to Xiaomi products.
2. Strong brand awareness and value: Xiaomi has shipped an estimated 190.3 million smartphones in 2021, a significant portion of shipments being in emerging markets such as India. New launches and premium products like Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12 series1, etc. are expected to result in the 2022 sales figure being even higher. The company has a variety of products like smartphones, air purifiers, smart TVs, etc. Not only products but revenues from services like app store and browser are also expected to rise. The high growth prospects due to rising market share in emerging markets and plans to expand into developed markets are good reasons to give Xiaomi a valuation of 20x, higher than its major competitor Apple (16x). The major reason for Xiaomi’s growth despite few marketing campaigns and thin channel partner margins is the value for money that its products give to the consumers due to competitive price to specifications ratios.
