Digitimes Research said yesterday that after three consecutive years of decline in 2018-2020, global smartphone shipments in 2021 are expected to grow at a double-digit rate, or 150 million units. This growth will accelerate the construction of 5G infrastructure and accelerate the process of commercial operations in Japan, Western Europe and the United States.
In the next five years, as the number of commercial 5G networks increases and coverage expands, the replacement demand for 5G mobile phones will increase. Digitimes Research predicts that the supply of entry-level 5G or 4G equipment in emerging markets will also drive global smartphone shipments, which are expected to reach 1.5 billion and 1.7 billion in 2023 and 2025.
Samsung Electronics and Apple will take the top two positions in smartphone shipments in 2021, followed by OPPO, vivo and Xiaomi. The Shenzhen-based Transsion will sell entry-level mobile phones of multiple brands in Africa and South Asia, so it will rank sixth. Huawei, which is affected by the US ban, is expected to fall back to seventh place .
Digitimes Research also predicts that global 5G mobile phone shipments will reach 200 million units in 2020 and will expand to 1.22 billion units in 2025.
According to IT Home, according to Canalys data, the top 5 global smartphone shipments in the second quarter of 2020 were Huawei, Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi and OPPO.
