Our Global Market Leadership
We are a biometric and activity data-driven company with significant expertise in smart wearable technology. We shipped 11.6 million units of smart wearable devices in the first nine months of 2017, more than any other company in the world, according to the Frost & Sullivan Report. As of September 30, 2017, we had shipped a total of 45.3 million devices since our inception in 2013, quickly establishing our global market position and recognition.
We believe we have one of the largest biometric and activity databases in the global smart wearables industry. Our mobile apps, Mi Fit and Amazfit, work hand in hand with our smart wearable devices and provide users with a comprehensive view and analysis of their biometric and activity data. As of September 30, 2017, our mobile apps had 49.6 million registered users, from whom we collect over 10 dimensions of measurement that include heart rate, ECG, weight, body fat compositions, GPS running track, steps, sleeping duration, etc. With a wide range of biometric and activity data from a large number of users, we are well-positioned to develop new application scenarios for smart wearable technology and drive innovation.
We have been the sole partner of Xiaomi Corporation, or Xiaomi, a mobile Internet company and global consumer electronics brand, to design and manufacture Xiaomi-branded smart bands, watches (excluding children watches and quartz watches), scales and associated accessories, or Xiaomi Wearable Products. Our strategic cooperation agreement with Xiaomi grants us the most-preferred-partner status globally to develop future Xiaomi Wearable Products and provides us with significant business demand, allowing us to quickly commercially launch our products and ramp up our business. This large and visible demand, combined with our technological expertise, in turn enhances our control over our supply chain and drives our efficiency. Meanwhile, our strong research and development capabilities and innovative products enrich Xiaomi’s suite of offerings and enhance user loyalty, resulting in a mutually beneficial relationship between Xiaomi and us. As of September 30, 2017, we had sold 40.0 million Mi Band series of smart band products since its launch in July 2014. In addition to Xiaomi Wearable Products, we also leverage Xiaomi’s established distribution network to promote smart bands and watches under our own brand, Amazfit. Our cooperation with Xiaomi has been a major driver for our growth. Xiaomi is the sole customer and distribution channel for all of our Xiaomi Wearable Products, and sales of Xiaomi Wearable Products contributed 97.1%, 92.1% and 82.4% of our total revenues for 2015 and 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Xiaomi is our most important customer and distribution channel. Any deterioration of our relationship with Xiaomi or reduction of sales of Xiaomi Wearable Products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.” for more discussion on our dependence on Xiaomi.
We have achieved significant growth since our inception. Our revenues increased by 73.6% from RMB896.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to RMB1,556.5 million (US$233.9 million) in the year
