Xiaomi
7 CHINA (XIACY, $6)
XIAOMI’S FIRST SMARTPHONE launched
in 2011, and it now enjoys a spot in
China’s top four largest smartphone
brands. It also has a sizable overseas
expansion: Xiaomi phones hold the
largest market share in India, one
of the fastest-growing smartphone
markets in the world. Xiaomi’s finan-
cial record is still relatively short—it
went public just over a year ago—but
diversifying its brand with smart-
home devices, an addition to its
Internet of things ecosystem, should
help growth average 20% in the next
two years.
BOE Technology
Group
34 CHINA ($1)*
C h i n a’s largest
manufacturer of LCD
screens is adding huge
capacity to its produc-
tion of flexible OLEDs—
the sort that can be
used in foldable
phones, wearable tech,
laptops, and even in-
teractive dashboards
in cars—with two new
factories due to come
online by 2020. BOE is
tipped to enter a part-
nership with Apple that
same year, making
flexible OLEDs for
iPhones—provided the
trade war doesn’t
mess with those plans.

The U.S. and China dominate the
Future 50, constituting an outsize share
of companies on the list compared with
other regions. But the number of Chinese
companies fell this year from 21 to 16.

Future 50 companies have more women
at the executive team level than average—
showing a correlation between gender
diversity and performance—and a
more diverse leadership pipeline.
