Guo Ming: Almost all Android brands face high inventory risk.
Guo Ming Tan, an analyst at Tianfeng International, said recently that in Xiaomi’s spare parts inventory (about 20-30 million mobile phones), the processor is the most serious, and the suppliers are MediaTek and Qualcomm (Qualcomm).
Guo Ming said that almost all Android brands are facing high inventory risk caused by weak demand, not just Xiaomi. Take Samsung as an example, the brand’s global mobile phone inventory (the sum of terminals and components) is not expected to drop to a reasonable level until June.
Guo Ming also said that for Android component suppliers with bargaining power, the inventory can be transferred to brands and agents/distributors because of the supply contracts signed in 2020-2022 when the supply is in short supply. However, although this can correct the inventory to a reasonable level in a short time, the high inventory of brands and agents/dealers may lead to weak demand for spare parts in the next few quarters.
