Why can’t I buy Gree mobile phones? Revealing the three major reasons behind
Recently, Gree mobile phones have once again become a hot topic on the Internet, but what is confusing is that despite the hot discussion, consumers generally report that they "cannot buy it." This article combines the hot data of the entire network in the past 10 days to analyze the "scarcity" phenomenon of Gree mobile phones from the three dimensions of market performance, user feedback and industry analysis.
1. Gree mobile phone market performance data
| indicator | data | Source/Description |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly sales volume of e-commerce platform (Gree G7) | Less than 200 units | Moudong and Moubao public data |
| Offline channel coverage | Gree stores with less than 5% | Industry research report |
| Search popularity in the past 10 days | A year-on-year increase of 120% | Baidu Index |
2. User feedback: Why “I want to buy but I can’t”?
According to analysis of comments on social media and e-commerce platforms, the main reasons include:
| Question type | Proportion | Typical comments |
|---|---|---|
| Channel out of stock | 68% | “The official store said it was out of stock, but the offline store said they had never heard of it.” |
| Insufficient publicity | 22% | “Except for Dong Mingzhu’s interview, there are almost no advertisements.” |
| Cost-effectiveness controversy | 10% | “The configuration is not as good as Xiaomi at the same price, but I’m curious and want to try it.” |
3. Industry Perspective: Three Major Dilemmas of Gree Mobile Phones
1.Ambiguous strategic positioning: Gree mobile phones have long been dependent on the Gree home appliance ecosystem and lack independent brand recognition. Users tend to regard them as "air conditioner gifts".
2.Supply chain shortcomings: Compared with Huawei and Xiaomi, Gree's mobile phone foundry is limited in scale, and its production capacity is given priority to corporate customers (such as employee customized machines), resulting in insufficient inventory at the retail end.
3.Channel coordination failure: Among Gree’s 30,000 offline stores, only a few are selling mobile phones on a trial basis, and the online platform has not provided traffic support, creating a situation of “demand but no touch points”.
4. Future Outlook: Systemic changes are needed to break the situation
Experts suggest that if Gree wants to open up the mobile phone market, it must first solve the following problems:
| key action | Feasibility | expected effect |
|---|---|---|
| Cooperate with leading e-commerce platforms | high | Increase spot rate to 80% |
| Bind smart home package | in | Convert 10% of home appliance users |
| Open ODM cooperation | low | Reduce production costs by 30% |
To sum up, the "unavailability" of Gree mobile phones is not due to insufficient production capacity, but the result of strategic swings and lack of focus on channels. In the red ocean market of mobile phones, Gree still needs to clarify: should it make a "home appliance accessory", or should it really invest resources to create an independent product line?
