Executive Summary
Huawei is an enigma in North America but is well known throughout other parts of the
world. Founded by Ren Zhengfei in 1987, the company has grown from its humble
beginnings in Shenzhen, Guangdong China to become a global powerhouse in
integrated communications, wireless infrastructure, smartphones and enterprise
networking.
In this brief, Moor Insights & Strategy will examine the company’s corporate structure,
historical financial performance, and some of the history of the Chinese government’s
interest in the company. Huawei has invested significantly to maintain the company’s
competitiveness especially related to 5G wireless infrastructure and enterprise
networking and should be considered as a vendor in these markets not only in North
America but globally.
What’s also of significant note is that Huawei only derives 1% of its revenue in North
America. That gives it ample room for market expansion. Moor Insights & Strategy
believes that the recent pullback from AT&T and Verizon Wireless in the United States
for postpaid contract sales of Huawei products will probably change over time as
Huawei continues to gain market share and brand recognition globally.
Call to Action
Huawei is a significant player in the world of integrated communications technology. Its
unique corporate structure, wide and deep product portfolio, continued investment in
next-generation infrastructure tied to 5G wireless deployments and an underpenetrated
market share in North America should position the company well for continued long-
term success.
