China's Huawei taps smartphone market in Morocco

Xinhua,December 12, 2017 Adjust font size:

RABAT, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Chinese tech giant Huawei aims to become the largest smartphone brand in the Moroccan market by 2022, according to Jacky Hong, director of Huawei in Morocco.

In an interview with Moroccan financial news site Medias24.com posted on Tuesday, Hong said the Chinese giant's sales in the country have grown 200 percent in 2017.

Huawei has made 200,000 sales in Morocco and the number is expected to reach 300,000 by the end of the year, Hong noted.

With the launching of its Mate10 series in Morocco, the company targets 70 million sales for the smartphone by September 2018.

Two years after opening its first plant in the north African country, Huawei has expanded its market share to about 10 percent in its aggressive promotional campaign. Enditem
