Huawei, which has the least number of 5G contracts, wins, Ericsson and Nokia both lose

Posted on: 12/22/2021

Recently, the Institute of Information and Communications Technology released a data on the global 5G equipment market in the first half of this year. The data shows that Huawei still firmly occupies the position of the world’s largest communications equipment supplier. Ericsson and Nokia are too far behind. It is worth noting that it was previously ranked No. ZTE also surpassed Nokia and ranked third in the world.

According to data released by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, in terms of revenue share, Huawei held 35.2% of the global communications equipment market in the first half of this year, Ericsson held 21.5%, ZTE held 16.14%, and Nokia ranked first with 12.1%. Fourth, Samsung ranked fifth with a 9% share.

According to data released by several major communication equipment vendors, Nokia ranked first in the 5G equipment market with 165 contracts, Ericsson won 147 5G equipment contracts, and Huawei still stayed at the 92 contracts announced in March last year. Say that Huawei is undoubtedly behind Ericsson and Nokia.

However, at present, countries around the world are relatively slow in advancing the construction of 5G networks, and China is the most aggressive. Nearly 1.2 million 5G base stations have been built in just over two years, accounting for 70% of the global 5G base stations. It can be said who is in the Chinese 5G equipment market If you have an advantage, whoever can have an advantage in the global 5G equipment market.

Huawei and ZTE are gaining advantages in the domestic 5G equipment market. The previous bidding data shows that Huawei can generally get 50% of the 5G equipment bidding of the three major operators. In July this year, China Mobile announced the 5G equipment bidding. Handed over 60% of the share to Huawei, and ZTE got 30%. It is precisely relying on the huge market of China that Huawei has ensured its position as the largest communications equipment supplier.

In terms of 5G technology, Huawei has the most 5G patents, and its 5G equipment technology is also the most mature. It is said that its 5G equipment is affordable in overseas markets. It is said that it should have sufficient competitive advantages in the global 5G equipment market.

However, due to well-known reasons, Huawei has stagnated in the overseas 5G equipment market since Q4 of 2019. As a result, the number of 5G equipment contracts has not increased since March 2020. In desperation, it can only fully develop the domestic market. , And the three major domestic operators also give it strong support.

With Huawei restricted, Ericsson and Nokia quickly grabbed the market in markets outside of China. They have won 5G equipment contracts in large numbers since the second half of last year, quickly breaking the 100th mark. At the same time, Samsung is also taking the opportunity to develop its communications equipment business in markets outside of China. It was almost zero in the 4G era, but it has repeatedly made gains since entering the 5G era. According to data from the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, it has firmly ranked fifth in the world. Equipment vendors.

The recent 5G equipment tenders in India, Brazil, and Bangladesh have all made Ericsson and Nokia the winners, while Samsung has cooperated with India’s largest operator jio, and the two Chinese communication equipment vendors are facing too many uncertainties in the Indian market. As these markets begin The large-scale construction of 5G networks may have an impact on Huawei’s position.

Faced with such a situation, Huawei did not sit back and watched. Instead, it actively expanded the markets in Central Asia and the Middle East. In October, the President of Turkmenistan issued an order to allow operators in the country to adopt Huawei’s 5G equipment. I believe that over time, other countries will slowly Will recognize Huawei’s advantages, and perhaps Huawei will show its glory in the overseas 5G equipment market by then.
