While Xiaomi aims to compete with giants in the electric car sector such as Tesla, the path to success seems strewn with pitfalls. Can this firm overcome crucial economic challenges that might jeopardize the financial stability of the company.
Chinese company Xiaomi recently took a bold turn in the automotive industry by launching its electric car, the SU7. However, the new adventure might not be as simple as expected for the Chinese giant. Faced with competition, notably Tesla, which dominates the market, the road to success looks difficult for Xiaomi. The company known for its smartphones risks bankruptcy with its electric car.
A risky bet in the face of fierce competition
Tesla’s success in the electric car market has encouraged various companies to follow it. We can cite the technology company Xiaomi. The latter presented the SU7its very first electric car, which rivals Tesla’s Model S.
However, he still has a long way to go to achieve the same result. In fact, the once-thriving smartphone company has seen its sales of high-tech products decline in recent months. The figures speak for themselves: at the end of 2021, Xiaomi posted impressive income of $50.9 billion. But, by September 2023, this sum had fallen significantly to reach only $37.4 billion. These worrying financial indicators raise questions regarding Xiaomi’s ability to financially support its new automotive venture.
Alojoh, specializing in economics, closely scrutinized Xiaomi’s financial situation on his X account (formerly Twitter). It reveals a downward trend in turnover despite a slight increase in margin. Moreover, a series of declining months does not bode well, especially since Xiaomi must now take up the challenge of electric cars, a sector which requires significant financial investments.
Will Xiaomi succeed in following the example of Elon Musk’s company?
The comparison with Tesla, which took almost 11 years to achieve profitability with its electric cars, underlines the complexity of the sector. Other players continue to suffer significant financial losses, even several years following launching their first electric models.
Apple’s cautious approach also reflects the financial and operational challenges linked to the production and sale of electric cars. It is therefore worth asking whether Xiaomi will succeed in the field of electric cars.
Certainly, its SU7 looks very promising, while other high-range electric cars are also on the agenda. However, creating and selling are two very different words. Furthermore, fierce competition, quality requirements and the need for massive financial investments make the automotive industry a complex playing field.
Success in this area requires not only technical innovation, but also a solid sales strategy. Xiaomi, in expressing its admiration for Tesla’s success, finds itself at a crucial crossroads. Tesla’s success, although late, serves as an example, but each company must navigate its own challenges.
Can Xiaomi take inspiration from the success of Tesla and overcome the obstacles specific to its journey to establish itself in the competitive world of electric cars? Only time will reveal it to us.
