The new data suggests that worldwide smartphone shipments
declined 6.7 percent year-on-year (YoY). Even though Samsung sliced the biggest
portion of the market, it saw a YoY decline of 14.2 percent in shipments.
Apple reportedly trumped Xiaomi to take the second position
in the global smartphone market and witnessed the biggest YoY growth of 20.8
percent.
International Data Corporation (IDC) has today released a new research report revealing mobile phone market shipments for the third quarter of this year, i.e. Q3 2021. The report reveals that 331.2 million units were shipped in the third quarter, representing a 6.7 percent decline year-on-year.
The numbers are worse than the analysts’ expectations of a
2.9 percent decline for Q3 2021. The report is citing the global supply chain
issues, shortage of components, and seasonal factors as the primary reasons for
the decline.
The report further adds that the regions like Central
Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan and China)
saw the largest year-on-year decline of -23.2 percent and -11.6 percent.
However, markets like the United States, Western Europe, and
China saw an overall decline of -0.2 percent, -4.6 percent, and -4.4 percent
respectively. This is because these regions are valued more by the suppliers.
South Korean giant Samsung remains the market leader with
shipments of 69 million units, covering 20.8 percent of the market share in the
third quarter of this year. The company witnessed a decline of 14.2 percent
year-on-year in Q3 2021.
Vivo and OPPO tied for the fourth position, with shipments
of 33.3 million units and 33.2 million units, respectively, with market shares
of 10.1% and 10.0%. The shipments for Vivo grew by 5.8% year-on-year, while
OPPO‘s shipments increased by 8.6% year-on-year at the end of the third
quarter.
Counterpoint Research recently released a report for the
smartphone shipments in the Chinese market, which witnessed 76.5 million
shipments in Q3 2021, a 9 percent year-on-year decline, and a 3 percent
month-on-month increase.
In the Chinese market, Vivo leads with a 23 percent market
share, while OPPO grabs the second spot with a 20 percent market share. Honor
and Xiaomi are in the third and fourth position with 15 percent and 14 percent
market share, respectively.
