At the peak of its glory, Xiaomi was considered, in 2014, as the most highly valued start-up in the world (46 billion dollars, or about 34 billion euros at the time). It must be said that the manufacturer had managed to occupy the first place in China, capturing 17% of the market in 2015. But since then, it is facing full competition from local rivals Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo.
