Huawei intends to be one of the leading third contenders in the mobile system with its homegrown operating system, HarmonyOS. In spite of the US, which applies sanctions on the company, it is making the best efforts to move on in order to discover new technologies and strengthen its market position.

Huawei's chairman Xu Zhijun was the speaker at the Analyst Summit 2024, outlining the road map for the company to take HarmonyOS into the global arena, using this operating system's parabolic rise in popularity throughout China as an example. Apparently, as was demonstrated by HarmonyOS at home, Huawei now wants to copy that success in the rest of the world.

Building a Robust App Ecosystem

Among the key pillars of Huawei's strategy is the provision of a strong app marketplace for HarmonyOS. The company targets tightly partnering with all app developers by donating suitable equipment and assistance for app transfer to the platform. Thereby, Huawei introduces the procedure of adapting the popular apps to HarmonyOS with the purpose of having its clients transfer to new workflows without any interruptions globally.

Huawei understands that the support of a large group of developers is vital to building a dynamic developer community and developing innovative and active apps that run on HarmonyOS. The company has already started to deal with over 4,000 apps; therefore, it is evident that it is poised to reach the target of one million apps very soon.

Challenges and Opportunities

Although Huawei's objectives include enveloping HarmonyOS in the whole world, its way is quite tricky and has many obstacles, including but not limited to. This might put the business under the disapproval and restrictions of US officials; that means the firm will be blocked from their access to the most critical technology and the market.

Nevertheless, Huawei is proving its strength by capitalizing on the opportunity to employ the technology prowess and the domestic market analysis as a leverage for disentangling the barriers and evolving forward.

Now that HarmonyOS is the choice of sophisticated users in China, Huawei has to bite a much larger international market using attracting developers to build a robust app ecosystem and delivering products that feature HarmonyOS technology. Huawei positions itself as an alternative that stands a chance against Android and iOS.

With Huawei's global reach being extended, one may say that the HarmonyOS system's popularity is ultimately reliant on its capability to attract users and developers outside China. Although these factors pose strong competition and geopolitical hazards, the company will still experience a large potential for expansion and invention on the global stage.

Through its pursuit of a more united and intelligent world, Huawei is geared to break the boundaries of existing mobile operating frameworks and then the future of technology that lies ahead. Huawei is armed to face the industry giants by taking the lead from the strategy of HarmonyOS and thus carving a pathway to a transformed mobile environment.
