ZTE: 2021 terminal annual shipments exceed 100 million units, 50% use self-developed chips

This afternoon, ZTE held a launch conference for the Axon 40 series. At the conference, Ni Fei, president of ZTE's terminal business unit, announced the achievements made in the past year.

Ni Fei said that thanks to years of persistence in taking root and increasing R&D investment, ZTE Terminal still achieved rapid growth in overall performance amid the ups and downs of the industry last year. In 2021, the annual terminal shipments exceeded 100 million units, of which 50% used self-developed chips. The overall revenue of the consumer business reached 25.73 billion, a year-on-year increase of 59.2%. Revenue from mobile phone products increased by nearly 40% year-on-year, and revenue from home terminals increased by more than 80% year-on-year.

In 2021, ZTE Terminal won two firsts in the world. In 2021, ZTE Terminal's 5G CPE market share ranked first in the world, becoming the top brand in the CPE market. Home terminal products also achieved explosive growth, with cumulative shipments of 580 million, ranking first in the world. Regarding this good result, Ni Fei said that ZTE's "1+2+N" full-scenario smart ecosystem has begun to take shape, and the full-scenario 5G smart lifestyle has become a reality.
