About Xiaomi Corporation
Xiaomi Corporation, widely recognized as Xiaomi and officially registered as Xiaomi Inc., is a prominent Chinese entity involved in designing and manufacturing consumer electronics, related software, home appliances, automobiles, and household hardware. Ranking as the world’s second-largest smartphone manufacturer following Samsung, the majority of Xiaomi’s smartphones operate on the MIUI operating system (recently renamed HyperOS), which is built on Android. The company holds the 338th spot on the Fortune Global 500, distinguishing itself as the youngest company listed.
Xiaomi was established in Beijing in 2010 by Lei Jun and six other founders. Prior to Xiaomi, Lei founded Kingsoft and Joyo.com, the latter being sold to Amazon for $75 million in 2004. Xiaomi launched its inaugural smartphone in August 2011 and by 2014, it led China in smartphone market share. Initially adopting an online-only sales model, Xiaomi eventually expanded to physical retail stores. By 2015, the company broadened its product lineup to include a variety of consumer electronics. In 2020, Xiaomi sold 149.4 million smartphones and boasted over 500 million monthly active users on its HyperOS. By 2023, Xiaomi was the third-largest global smartphone seller, capturing about 12% market share according to Counterpoint, earning it the nickname “Apple of China.” The company also manufactures a diverse range of products like televisions, drones, and air purifiers within its Internet of Things and Xiaomi Smart Home ecosystems.
Xiaomi maintains competitive pricing by extending the market presence of its products up to 18 months and utilizes inventory optimization and flash sales to manage stock levels efficiently.
History: Xiaomi was co-founded on April 6, 2010, by Lei Jun along with:
- Lin Bin, former vice president of the Google China Institute of Engineering
- Zhou Guangping, senior director at Motorola’s Beijing R&D center
- Liu De, head of the Industrial Design Department at the University of Science and Technology Beijing
- Li Wanqiang, general manager at Kingsoft Dictionary
- Huang Jiangji, principal development manager
- Hong Feng, senior product manager at Google China
Dissatisfied with existing mobile phones, Lei aimed to produce superior products. Xiaomi introduced its first Android-based firmware, MIUI (now HyperOS), in August 2010. The company’s first smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi 1, launched in August 2011 with MIUI and Android. Xiaomi raised significant capital through Series A, B, and C funding rounds from 2010 to 2012, attracting investors like Temasek Holdings and Qualcomm.
In August 2013, Xiaomi made a notable hire in Hugo Barra from Google, aiming to expand internationally. Xiaomi released the Xiaomi Mi 3 and an Android-based 47-inch 3D Smart TV in 2013, marking significant milestones. By the end of 2013, Xiaomi had sold 18.7 million smartphones, ranking as the fifth most-used smartphone brand in China.
