Abstract

In the fiercely competitive mobile phone market, domestic mobile phone brands are struggling to fight for a position in the global market. Huawei, as a famous domestic mobile phone brand, has developed its mobile phone business rapidly in the recent years. It employs multiple-brand strategy to enlarge the group of target audiences and to increase the sales volume. On the other hand, Apple as a foreign mobile phone brand, with a great reputation in the global market, retains its target consumer groups by building emotional relationship like fan-ship with its consumers to build brand loyalty.

As Huawei begins to march to high-end mobile phone market, which means it needs to compete with Apple directly, Huawei has to change its brand strategy to adjust to the need of middle-class and upper-class consumer groups. This thesis mainly demonstrates the brand strategies that Apple and Huawei currently employ, the difference between the two brands, and what Huawei can learn from Apple. Finally, some suggestions are made for Huawei to increase its competitive edge in the fiercely competitive mobile phone market.
