Huawei's current chairman, Xu Zhijun, discussed the company's plans to grow internationally after taking care of business domestically at the Analyst Summit 2024. Despite US sanctions, Huawei thinks it can position HarmonyOS as the third-best mobile operating system globally.
Huawei is committed to fostering a strong app ecosystem for HarmonyOS by collaborating closely with developers and offering all the necessary resources, encouragement, and support. First, it will concentrate on the Chinese market, where data indicates that 99% of users spend their time using just over 5,000 apps. This implies that the tech behemoth must prioritize these 5,000 apps before bringing them to a global audience.
Just in time, over 4,000 apps have already been updated for the HarmonyOS NEXT. However, recruiting other app developers requires time and work. The chairman thinks Huawei will soon be able to hit the one million app milestone.
HarmonyOS is rapidly gaining traction on home soil, according to a different source. In actuality, iOS will soon be surpassed by Huawei's OS as the second most widely used mobile platform in China.
