Currently at 9 percent market share

On Thursday, Huawei told Reuters that it wants to become the world’s second-largest marker of smartphones in two years.

Company chief executive Richard Yu told attendees at the Mate 9 launch event in Munich, "When we announced four years ago that we wanted to sell phones, people told us we were crazy. When we said we wanted to sell 100 million phones, they told us we were crazy,"

As of today, the company is the third-largest smartphone maker right behind Apple and Samsung, having shipped 33.6 million devices in the third quarter of 2016. This gives them a 9 percent market share, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.
