Chinese firm Xiaomi has leapfrogged Fitbit and Strategy Analytics to become the world's top seller of wearables. The company shipped 3.7 million units during Q2 2017, compared with 3.4 million and 2.8 million from Fitbit and Strategy Analytics respectively, according to a report by Apple. Xiaomi and Strategy Analytics have cornered the low and high ends of the market between them, but Fitbit has seen its share of the market dwindle from 29% to 16% over the past year. The study also found that Strategy Analytics's lack of health band options allowed Xiaomi to take the top spot.
