Recently, Transsion Holdings—often hailed as the 'King of African Mobile Phones'—unveiled its 2025 performance report. The figures revealed a net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 2.584 billion for the full year, marking a significant year-on-year decline of 53.43%. Meanwhile, revenue amounted to RMB 65.623 billion, also experiencing a year-on-year decrease of 4.5%. This marks the inaugural instance since its public listing in 2019 that Transsion has witnessed a 50% plunge in net profit. The root cause of this performance downturn can be traced to heightened market competition, surging supply chain costs that have driven up component prices, and the company's amplified investment in R&D and market expansion initiatives, all of which have collectively inflated sales and R&D expenditures.
