Smartphone Shipments In 2020
According to the smartphone shipment situation announced by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, from January to October 2020, the total domestic smartphone market has shipped 252 million units. 124 million of them are 5G smartphones. This accounts for 49.4% of the total.
Among the 124 million 5G smartphones, there are a total of 183 models. They range from 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan ($153 – $1530). Thus, customers have various options to choose from.
It is worth mentioning that starting from June this year, 5G smartphone shipments have steadily accounted for more than 60%. Following this trend, there is basically no suspense that 5G smartphones account for more than half of the total in 2020.
Just recently, IDC expressed optimism about the growth of the smartphone market in the fourth quarter. The market research company pointed out that the growing demand for 5G smartphones was the main driving force. The overall shipments are expected to grow 2.4% year-on-year, reaching to 377.7 million units. This upward trend should continue in 2021, an increase of 4.4% from 2020. Though the planet is ‘infected’, the ‘astonishingly fast recovery of the supply chain’ and ‘significant incentives’ from OEM and 5G terminal channels will make the market grow again.
