Apple beats xiaomi in wearable sales

The wearables market continues to grow. More and more brands launch smart watches or bracelets, and worldwide sales are growing. Xiaomi is one of the most successful firms in this segment. The Chinese firm is known for launching watches and bracelets at very low prices. Something that has certainly helped his success. Although, in this third quarter of the year they have been superseded as the best-selling firm. Apple gets that honor.

Apple beats Xiaomi in sales of wearables

Third quarter sales for this year have been revealed. To be specific, the market shares of each of the main companies. We can see how Xiaomi has given this first place to Apple. The American firm has managed to rise as the most sold. Although the distance between both companies is minimal.

Apple the best-selling in wearables

Apple achieves a market share of 23%, while Xiaomi remains in second place with 21%. So this last quarter of the year, with Black Friday and Christmas it can be decisive to see which of the two rises as the best-selling of the entire year. In third place, very close to the first two, is Fitbit with 20%. A brand that does not sound to many, but is one of the best in the market for werables.

The Top 5, at a great distance, are closed by Huawei and Samsung. Both firms have a presence in this market. Although they are far from the first three in terms of market share. But, what we can see is that Asian firms sell very well in this segment.

Apple's rise is largely due to strong demand for Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE. In fact, all sales of the American company come from watches. While Xiaomi divides its sales in watches and bracelets. In the third quarter 17.3 million wearables were sold. Will the fourth quarter exceed these figures?
