BBK Electronics’ most famous brand, Oppo, is experiencing continuous growth in Latin America. This is why some company executives will visit facilities in Argentina where they could start manufacturing their cell phones.
A few months ago the physical presence of Xiaomi in Argentina, with a store that we found on the first floor of Shopping Abasto. His arrival was hand in hand with ethereal (company based in Tierra del Fuego) and apparently could have competition. We are talking about another Chinese technological player that seems to be analyzing the possible production of smartphones in the same province: Oppo.
Oppo is the most famous brand BBK-Electronics (one of the largest mobile manufacturers) and, over time, became one of the world’s top five sellers in the smartphone market. The visit of the directors of the company, confirmed by sources to Geek Culture, will be of executives to visit possible facilities where the cell phones of their brands would be manufactured.
Yes ok Oppo seems to be the focus of interest of the visit, bbk He also has other brands in his possession, such as one plus, Live either Realme. So we remain alert to any type of information.
Although this company had varied products (from a video game console for cartridges, to CDs, DVD players, MP3 and televisions), bbk saw success when he aimed at cell phone manufacturing. The Oppo Find Me was his first phone, followed by the first models of Live. In 2014 the first one plus and finally came the Realme.
The brand Oppo It was consolidated in China in 2004 and, step by step, it opened up to new markets. To give you an idea, it just arrived in Europe in 2019, so its possible landing in Argentina does not sound so strange. More than anything if we take into account the growth it had in the market of several Latin American countries, such as Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, also in Central America and the Caribbean.
According to Canalys, in Latin America Samsung leads the regional market with a 43% share, followed by Lenovo/Motorola with 18% and below we have Xiaomi with 14% already Manzana with 5%. After these comes Oppo with 3%, becoming the first time that this Chinese brand has ranked fifth in the market.
If the arrival of Oppo to Argentina, it would be a new Chinese player in the local mobile phone business. But Xiaomi should not be your main competitor, since the brands that dominate are Motorola Y Samsungwhich account for 84% of the market, according to the consulting firm Carrier y Asociados.
We’ll see what happens with Oppo Y bbk in Argentina and if we soon have more information about his possible arrival in the country. Who knows? Perhaps if they start manufacturing smartphones in Tierra del Fuego they can give even more variety in equipment to the growing local market.
