Huawei routers have once again taken top honors in the 2019 global carrier market, according to research by Omdia.
Despite an aggressive campaign by the U.S. government to limit Huawei’s global dominance, the company continues to gain traction. Omdia’s latest report has the Chinese telecoms company maintaining the lead it first acquired in 2018.
“Huawei routers maintained their leading position in 2019, following their rise to the top of the carrier market in 2018,” says the company. “In the backbone router market, Huawei routers have maintained their top position for three consecutive years. Moreover, this is the first time that Huawei routers took top spot in the metro router market, making Huawei routers No. 1 in the overall global carrier market as well as niche markets.”
Huawei goes on to tout its customer-centric philosophy as one of the key contributors to its dominance, as well as its technological innovations.
“Huawei’s growing market share has been possible because of the trust that both customers and the industry alike have in Huawei,” the company adds.
A growing market share, perceived dominance, scalability and aggressive price points are among the many reasons the U.S. campaign against the company has met with only limited success.
