Xiaomi’s third-quarter financial results for 2024 reveal a company successfully expanding beyond its smartphone roots. The Chinese tech giant reported record-breaking revenue of 92.51 billion yuan ($12.8 billion), marking a 30.5% year-over-year increase.

This growth stems from strong performance across multiple segments, including smartphones, AIoT devices, and electric vehicles.

The smartphone division remains Xiaomi’s primary revenue driver. It generated 47.5 billion yuan ($6.56 billion), up 14% from the previous year.

Global smartphone shipments reached 43.1 million units, securing Xiaomi‘s position as the world’s third-largest smartphone vendor. This achievement marks the 17th consecutive quarter the company has held this ranking.

The company’s global monthly active users hit a record high of 685.8 million, growing by 10.1% compared to the previous year. This increase demonstrates the expanding reach of Xiaomi’s ecosystem.

Perhaps most notable is Xiaomi’s entry into the electric vehicle market. The company delivered 39,790 units of its SU7 series electric vehicles in Q3 2024.
