Digging through Huawei annual reports and press releases to understand how Huawei's consumer business performed in relation to the wider group

2. Huawei’s consumer business percentage
growth over time
Huawei isn’t like other businesses. It is based around worker
participation in profits with Chinese colleagues benefiting from
profit share. It is a private company so it’s numbers don’t have
the same level of disclosure requirements as public companies.
It’s books are audited.
I went through press room disclosures and their public annual
reports to compile this chart. Percentage changes were more
interesting to me as it is a big company.

Retail sales data, where possible I have tried to exclude petrol station sales and remove fuel price volatility – which is a measure of external circumstances rather than economic health.
