According to the latest estimates, Huawei's share of the smartphone market will decline significantly next year. Apparently, the "hardest" prediction is the Business Standard website cited by the Gizchina server, according to which the share of the Chinese smartphone giant will be only 2021% in 4, while it predicts 14% this year.
According to website analysts, the main reason for such a significant drop will be the ongoing sanctions of the American government, which have been tightened several times this year alone. Because of them, among other things, Huawei was cut off from its main chip supplier, the Taiwanese company TSMC, and the sanctions also deprived it of key technological and software advantages. They also forced him sell its Honor division.

According to it, 366 million smartphones were sold in the third quarter of the year, which is 5,7% less than the same period last year.
