Huawei users in China gain access to Sleep Cycle, expanding its user base to over 100 million people
Sleep Cycle Expands to Huawei in China, Bolstering Global Health and Sleep Research
Sleep Cycle, the world-renowned sleep tracking application, has made a significant stride in its expansion by becoming available on Huawei devices in China. The app, which is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker SLEEP, is now accessible to millions of Huawei users in the region.
Sleep Cycle's mission to improve global health by empowering people to sleep better aligns with the growing interest for health applications in China. Huawei, one of the largest phone manufacturers in China, is known for its strong presence in the wrist-worn device market. The integration of Sleep Cycle within Huawei’s ecosystem is expected to positively impact new user acquisition and subscriptions.
The app's mobile application assists users in falling asleep more easily, tracking and analyzing sleep during the night, waking the user in a light sleep phase, and providing insights into sleep improvement. With Sleep Cycle's comprehensive data on sleep habits worldwide, it stands as one of the world's most comprehensive sources for statistics on sleep.
The expansion to Huawei in China adds over 100 million new users to Sleep Cycle's reach, bringing the total number of daily active users worldwide to millions. To date, Sleep Cycle has analyzed over two billion nights of sleep data in more than 150 countries.
Sleep Cycle's strategy includes expanding to new platforms and becoming accessible on new devices. The app is already appreciated among its users for its high engagement, and the availability on Huawei devices is expected to further boost this engagement.
Policy support, rising consumer demand for smart health features, competitive push in health tracking tech, and geopolitical and technological independence are key factors driving this expansion's success in China. The national subsidy policy in China has stimulated consumer purchases of smartwatches and bracelets, driving substantial growth in wearables, particularly in the cost-effective segment where Huawei is strong.
