The cottage phone is rapidly weakening and the number of Shenzhen mobile phone manufacturers disappears by 90%

Shenzhen Huaqiang North, which was once the largest trading place for electronic products in China, is facing a crisis of survival in the immediate popularity of smart phones.

Mingtong Digital City, once known as the world's largest mobile phone sales center, has rented 100,000 square meters of counters every month. However, nearly 40% of the counters are now vacant, and rents fall to 8,000 yuan. . The same is true for Yuanwang Digital City, which mainly sells parallel mobile phones and mobile phone accessories.

In Mingtong Digital City, there are still Samsung, HTC, and other high imitation smart phones, and even cottage features sold, but few people are interested. According to market insiders told Sohu IT, Huaqiang North, almost all cottage mobile phone dealers are undergoing a transition: some turned to Samsung, iPhone and other parallel mobile phone sales; part turned to profitable Apple accessories sales; and part of it turned to independent small and medium brands Smart machine "business".

However, manufacturers that have switched to independent small and medium smart phone brands are still “difficult”. According to Ge Ligui, general manager of Mige Mobile Phones, starting from the middle of last year, with the rapid spread of domestic smart phones, domestic mobile phone manufacturers rapidly declined, and there are many companies that have closed down and run. At present, the price of single-core products in the Shenzhen smart phone market can be less than 300 yuan, and dual-core mobile phones using the MTK scheme are about 500 yuan. Ge Ligui believes that the domestic brand mobile phone manufacturers such as Tianyu has already become an important resistance to the transformation of cottage mobile phones. “If the small Hornet mobile phones have already bought less than 400 yuan, how can small and medium-sized brands be sold?”

Ge Ligui disclosed to Sohu IT that in 2006, it was the “golden period” of Shenzhen Shanzhai mobile phones. The number of manufacturers reached nearly 4,000 once and gradually declined from 2009. Currently, there are about 400 mobile phone manufacturers in Shenzhen, which is insufficient since peak hours. one tenth.
