The group’s international revenue grew 151.7% year-on-year, accounting for 36.3% of its total revenue, according to unaudited consolidated results for the company’s second quarter.
“Xiaomi will continue building on its unique and powerful ‘triathlon’ business model to further penetrate the high-end smartphone market, introduce more IoT (Internet of Things) products to international markets, and expand our range of Internet services, laying strong foundations for our revenue growth in the future ahead,” Xiaomi Founder, Chairman and CEO Lei Jun said in a statement.
In the second quarter of 2018, Xiaomi’s smartphones segment recorded revenue of approximately $4.46 billion, representing year-on-year growth of 58.7%, which was driven by an increase in both smartphone sales volume and the average selling price (ASP). The fastest growth in revenue was seen in the IoT and lifestyle products segment, growing by 104.3% year-on-year.
Revenue from the Internet services segment grew 63.6% year-on-year driven primarily by increasing monetisation in mainland China, Xiaomi said.
