RAIN Technology reported on June 26 that at tonight’s Xiaomi press conference, Lei Jun announced a compelling long-term strategic plan: Xiaomi is expected to invest RMB 200 billion in the next five years.
Looking back on the past five years, from 2021 to 2025, Xiaomi has invested RMB 100.5 billion, focusing on in-depth research and development of core technologies.
It can be clearly seen that Xiaomi’s R&D investment will achieve significant growth in the next five years, directly doubling and tripling in the past five years. This is not only a simple digital growth, but also reflects Xiaomi’s strategic layout in future technological competition.
It is particularly worth noting that in 2025, Xiaomi’s single-year scientific research investment is expected to reach RMB 30 billion. Such a huge capital investment undoubtedly shows that Xiaomi is committed to building a stronger and broader “moat” through technological innovation. This strategic choice is designed to ensure that Xiaomi maintains its leading position in the fierce market competition and lays the foundation for future sustainable development.
The huge investment in scientific research is continuing to transform into Xiaomi’s market competitiveness. From major breakthroughs in imaging technology to self-developed Xuanjie chips, from the continuous iteration of fast charging technology to the construction of human-level ecosystems, these R&D achievements have continuously merged Xiaomi’s product strength, improved user experience, and injected new vitality into a small brand.
When talking about Xiaomi’s successful experience, Lei Jun emphasized the importance of confidence and R&D investment. He said that when facing challenges and difficulties, the company must maintain unwavering confidence and firmly believe in China’s scientific and technological innovation capabilities and its huge market potential. This belief is a powerful driving force for Xiaomi to continue to move forward.
From an objective perspective, Xiaomi’s increased R&D investment is to respond to increasingly fierce market competition and respond to the country’s policy orientation to encourage scientific and technological innovation. Against the backdrop of increasingly fierce global technology competition, increasing R&D investment is an inevitable choice for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness. At the same time, it can also contribute to the scientific and technological progress of our country. However, whether large investments can be converted into actual product innovations, and market gains still take time to test. How to effectively utilize these funds and convert R&D results into commercial value is an important challenge facing Xiaomi.
