At the 2018 Xiaomi Annual Meeting, Xiaomi‘s Senior Vice President of Strategic Cooperation Xiang Wang said that Xiaomi expanded abroad rapidly and successfully. So far, Xiaomi products are available in 73 countries and regions. Xiaomi ranks first in India’s market share and is among the top three market competitors in nine countries .
In the past year, Xiaomi expanded aggressively into the Southeast Asian market. Xiaomi has more than 300 retail stores, two-thirds of which were opened last year. Lei hopes that Xiaomi could establish another 1,000 “Mi Homes” (shops that allow consumers to experience and buy all Xiaomi products) in the next three years, implying that Xiaomi is actively building offline retail and after-sales service systems.
