Since the commercialization of 5G, communication enterprises have ushered in the best development period. Previously, GSMA data showed that by the end of 2020, 142 5G networks had been commercialized in 57 countries and regions around the world, and it was pointed out that the development of 5G in China was particularly remarkable, achieving continuous coverage in key areas. In 2020, nearly 720,000 5G base stations will be built. For ZTE and Huawei, it is an important force in the deployment of 5G in China.
It should be pointed out that ZTE, which suffered a serious loss in 20 18, suffered a loss of nearly 7 billion yuan this year and its operation was in trouble. Fortunately, in 20 19, China officially started the commercialization of 5G, and then gradually recovered. 20 19 realized a net profit of 51470,000 yuan. It's just that strong profits depend on the huge income brought by real estate. Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base cooperated with Vanke, and in 20 19, it confirmed that the pre-tax profit was about 2.6-2.9 billion yuan, accounting for more than 50% of the total profit. However, the profit level has greatly improved, which indicates that it will set sail again.
In 2020, with the commercialization of 5G, with the help of 5G, ZTE handed over beautiful transcripts in 2020. The revenue exceeded 100 billion, indicating that it is expected to use 5G to make the revenue scale enter a new milestone. The financial report shows that in 2020, the revenue will increase by 1 1.8% to1kloc-0/500 million yuan, and the net profit will reach 4.3 billion yuan. The three business segments all showed an upward trend, especially the operator segment grew strongly, reaching 74 billion yuan that year, an increase of 1 1.2% over the previous year.
It is mainly reflected in grasping the development opportunities of 5G and new infrastructure and realizing the double promotion of market structure and share. According to reports from external organizations, ZTE's global shipments of 5G base stations will rank second in 2020. In addition, the share of 5G in China is over 30%, and it has carried out 5G application practice with more than 500 industry partners to realize digital transformation of all walks of life.
ZTE has a complete 5G end-to-end solution capability, and has accelerated the global commercial scale deployment of 5G with its leading technologies, products and solutions in the fields of chips, databases, wireless, core networks, bearers, terminals and industrial applications. This shows a strong technical research and development strength. By the end of 2020, the number of patent applications worldwide was about 80,000, and it is also an important 5G patent enterprise in the world.
Earlier, it was reported that Huawei's total revenue in 2020 increased by 1 1% year-on-year to136.7 billion US dollars, with an increase of over 10% and a profit of 9.9 billion US dollars. In terms of the revenue scale of Huawei 1000 billion US dollars, it is eight times that of ZTE. There are huge differences between the two communication giants. The ability to make money is even more out of reach. At the same time, the market value of the two is also very different. As of March 26th, ZTE's market value was 65.438+036 billion, and Hurun Research Institute's valuation of Huawei was 654.38+0.654.38+0 trillion yuan, making it the most valuable private enterprise in China's big consumption field.
It is worth mentioning that ZTE is Huawei's strongest competitor in the 5G market. And around the track of the 5G industry, ZTE will continue to increase investment and promote the research and development of 5G industrial applications. It can be said that the strength of 5G technology, ZTE can not be underestimated, and it is also the first camp manufacturer of 5G patents in the world. Due to technological innovation, it has brought steady growth of business.
It is believed that the competition between the two major communication manufacturers will be further intensified. However, Huawei, which suffered a great test, also handed over a beautiful report card last year, and its revenue scale broke through the100 billion dollar mark. On the 5G track, more than 20 industries around the world have deployed 5G demonstration applications, such as coal mines, industrial manufacturing and ports. Global operators have signed more than 65,438+0,000 application contracts for the 5G industry.
This mainly depends on long-term adherence to technological innovation, making it grow into a global technology giant. In the past ten years, it has invested more than 600 billion R&D expenses, and it has strong competitiveness in smart phones, 5G, Internet of Things, cloud services and other markets. New technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence are exported through the cloud, and the goal is to bring technological capabilities to thousands of industries and empower the whole society to transform digitally.
Finally, as the export of communication technology, 5G has promoted the transformation of information technology to the Internet of Everything. As the major countries in the world continue to promote the commercial service of 5G, it will accelerate the application of 5G industry, bring major changes to all walks of life, drive digital innovation, and bring unimaginable new opportunities to the information technology industry. The communication industry will also enter a new stage of great prosperity, releasing the growth potential for equipment communication manufacturers.
