Xiaomi vs. Midea: The Showdown in Home Appliances and Future Innovations
Xiaomi fans, exciting developments are unfolding in the home appliance sector! In a recent exclusive interview with LatePost, Fang Hongbo, the president of Midea, discussed the fierce competition with Xiaomi and the company’s ambitions in the automotive market. Here at Xiaomi for All, we’re diving deep into how Xiaomi is not just participating but revolutionizing the game in this industry. Are you ready to explore how Xiaomi is changing the landscape? Let’s delve in!
Xiaomi: The Disruptor Challenging Industry Giants
Fang Hongbo revealed that Lu Weibing, Xiaomi’s president, visited Midea in 2024 armed with a presentation that left Midea executives astonished. Xiaomi aims to lead global smartphone sales within three years, secure a top-five position in the automotive sector in a decade, and become one of the top three home appliance brands in China by 2028. When Fang inquired about which competitors they intended to displace—Midea, Gree, or Haier—one could easily picture Lu smiling confidently. This is the essence of Xiaomi!
Xiaomi is making waves in air conditioning, washing machines, refrigerators, and more, challenging an industry that Fang describes as “stagnant.” Midea acknowledges that Xiaomi’s entry is a “positive” force, pushing competitors to innovate. What’s more, Xiaomi is excelling with its interconnected ecosystem, competitive pricing, and appealing designs.

Midea Studies Xiaomi: A Compliment in Disguise
Here’s an interesting twist: Midea has dedicated three extensive reports to analyze Xiaomi. This isn’t merely competition; it’s a sign of respect. Fang admits they are “constantly learning” from Xiaomi, and it’s easy to see why. With products like the Mijia air conditioner, which combines energy efficiency with app control, and smart washing machines, Xiaomi is setting new consumer expectations for home appliances.
At Xiaomi for All, we believe this acknowledgment validates Xiaomi’s strategy. The company doesn’t just compete on price; it brings innovation to the table. From integration with HyperOS to AI features that optimize energy consumption, Xiaomi is elevating the smart home experience to new heights.

Automotive Ventures: Where Xiaomi Shines and Midea Hesitates
While Midea contemplates entering the automotive sector and ultimately decides against it—Fang stated, “we don’t have that capability”—Xiaomi is already accelerating ahead. The Xiaomi SU7, launched in 2024, has exceeded 100,000 deliveries and competes with industry titans like Tesla and BYD. Additionally, the new YU7 SUV, boasting 681 horsepower, is set to make its debut in 2025, promising to capture hearts.
Fang has revealed that automotive companies sought collaboration with Midea but chose to partner with others instead. Xiaomi, on the other hand, is unafraid to take risks. With innovations like the Xuanjie O1 chip and ambitions to rank among the top five global car manufacturers, Xiaomi exemplifies courage as its hallmark.

Midea Sells Its Xiaomi Shares: Strategy or Fear?
An intriguing fact: Midea, a Xiaomi shareholder for nearly a decade, sold all its shares in 2024, netting around 2 billion yuan. Midea’s finance department claims it was a “normal operation,” but we at Xiaomi for All wonder: is this merely a financial decision, or does it indicate Midea perceives Xiaomi as an unstoppable threat?
While Midea focuses on its dual strategy targeting consumers (ToC) and businesses (ToB), Xiaomi is capturing the global market. By 2025, Xiaomi’s appliances will reach Europe, including Spain, offering refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners that promise to transform your home.

From smart appliances to electric vehicles, Xiaomi is crafting an ecosystem that connects your life like never before. While Midea analyzes reports, Xiaomi is busy innovating and winning hearts.
In 2025, prepare to see Xiaomi appliances in global stores, integrated with HyperOS and designed to simplify your life. With the SU7 and YU7 leading the charge, the future of mobility is undeniably marked by Xiaomi.
