Xiaomi spokesman also stressed that the Vietnam factory is only one of the company's product layout in Southeast Asia, not the entire production supply chain moved to Vietnam. Xiaomi has a global layout of the supply chain, "but for Xiaomi, the most important has always been the domestic supply chain."

The spokesperson pointed out that Xiaomi phones produced in the Vietnam factory will be supplied to other Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand and Malaysia, in addition to the local Vietnamese market.

It is understood that Xiaomi previously mainly produced cell phones in China and India, but after the epidemic, the supply chain was disrupted, and in order to decentralize the production base, it was decided to produce in northern Vietnam, which is easy to move from China.

According to previous data from analyst firm Counterpoint, Xiaomi has become the second largest cell phone maker in Vietnam after Samsung (34 percent) by taking 20.6 percent of the market share of smartphones in the first three months of this year.
