The global smartphone market growth saw a decline of 7% YoY, shipping 328 million units in Q1 2022 caused by the ongoing component shortages, as well as COVID resurgence at the beginning of the quarter and the Russia-Ukraine war towards the end. The global smartphone market also, as expected, had a seasonal decline of 12% QoQ. The component supply crunch was felt more severely by major Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi, OPPO* and vivo as compared with Samsung, which seems to have overcome component shortages that affected its supply last year, as evidenced by higher-than-expected growth in its shipments despite a late flagship launch.

Consequently, Samsung regained the top spot from Apple which had emerged as the biggest smartphone vendor globally in Q4 2021 thanks to its latest iPhone 13 series.

With its share at around 22.5% of the global smartphone shipments in Q1 2022, China remains the world’s biggest smartphone market. This is down from around 25.6% in Q1 2021 as China’s economy grew slower than expected due to COVID-related lockdowns and shipment volumes declined by over 19% YoY. While China’s share of global smartphone market growth (shipments) remains flat QoQ thanks to a small peak in demand during Chinese New Year and as the global smartphone market declined QoQ due to seasonality, in terms of absolute shipments, China saw a quarterly decline of over 12%.

HONOR has emerged as the biggest smartphone player in China, chipping into vivo and OPPO*’s shares and stepping into the position previously held by Huawei from which it recently separated. Although vivo did not succeed in regaining the top position due to HONOR’s rise at a time when it is itself facing component shortages, it did recover somewhat thanks to its newly launched mid-end S12 series that is popular with younger customers and the affordable the Y series which showed strong performance in the quarter.

Global Smartphone Shipments Growth Forecast for 2024 Raised to 5%

  • Consumer sentiment continues to improve more robustly than expected in Latin America, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe due to improving macroeconomic conditions.
  • The introduction of GenAI-based devices will catalyze some additional growth beyond 2024.
  • Apple Intelligence with GenAI-capable iPhone launches is expected to extend the growth momentum through 2025, creating an opportunity to take Apple to the top in annual shipments.
  • Steady upgrades to smartphones and from LTE to 5G in emerging economies will keep driving steady growth in the long term.

Seoul, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Fort Collins, Hong Kong, London, New Delhi, Taipei, Tokyo – August 29, 2024

After two consecutive years of declines, global smartphone shipments will grow 5% YoY in 2024 to reach 1.23 billion units, according to the latest forecast from Counterpoint’s Market Outlook Service. This is an upward revision from the previous forecast of under 4% YoY growth, as macroeconomic conditions and consumer sentiment continue to improve. The positive momentum will continue in the coming years despite ongoing geopolitical turbulence in Europe and the Middle East.

Associate Director Liz Lee said, “In the longer term, we expect more new smartphone users to enter the market, leading to a steady accretion in the overall installed base. While this will be driven by emerging markets like the Middle East and Africa (MEA), Caribbean and Latin America (CALA), India and Southeast Asia, growth can also be expected in North America and even Europe, which is largely a replacement market now. Key mature markets such as China, Japan and South Korea will also play a role in long-term revenue growth with an increasing mix of high-value smartphones.”

The introduction of GenAI-based devices will catalyze some additional growth beyond 2024. As consumer awareness of GenAI devices grows, OEMs will increasingly incorporate GenAI features. Senior Analyst Harmeet Singh Walia said, “The share of GenAI-capable smartphones is expected to go from less than a fifth in 2024 to more than half in 2028. Apple’s AI (Apple Intelligence), available in its upcoming models, will boost GenAI devices in the whole smartphone market. It could create an opportunity for Apple to rise to the top in annual shipments as soon as in 2025.”

Meanwhile, Chinese OEMs such as Huawei, HONOR and Motorola will drive growth in the foldable smartphone market. Apple’s entry into foldables, expected in 2027, will bring momentum to the new form factor, strengthening the ecosystem further.

Global Foldables Market Expands in Q2 2024 as Chinese OEMs Proliferate Across Regions

  • Global foldable shipments grew 48% YoY in Q2 2024 driven by Western Europe, key Asian markets and LATAM, along with China’s consistent lead.
  • HONOR was the biggest contributor with its especially strong performance in Western Europe, positioning it as the region’s No. 1 brand.
  • Motorola’s Razr 40 series did well across NAM and LATAM, contributing to a triple-digit YoY growth in the OEM’s shipments.
  • We expect the increasing presence of key Chinese OEMs to temper Samsung’s Z6 Series launch in Q3, at least in the short term.

Seoul, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Fort Collins, Hong Kong, London, New Delhi, San Diego, Taipei, Tokyo – August 29, 2024

Global foldable smartphone shipments increased 48% YoY in Q2 2024, according to the latest Counterpoint Research Foldable Smartphone Shipment Tracker. China continued to spearhead growth in the foldable market, accounting for over half of the total shipments, while other regions also saw significant market expansion during the quarter. The Western Europe, Asia Pacific (excluding China, India, and South Korea), and Latin America regions registered substantial growth in foldable shipments, driven primarily by the robust performance of Chinese OEMs, particularly HONOR and Motorola.

Western Europe has grown to become the second-largest foldable market among key regions, where brands like HONOR, Samsung, Motorola, OPPO, OnePlus, and even Google are competing fiercely. Western Europe hosts the most diverse range of foldable brands outside China. The intensifying competition in the region among these brands has been the key driver of the market’s growth. Notably, in Q2 2024, HONOR overtook Samsung for the first time to claim the No.1 spot in Western Europe, marking a significant shift in the competitive landscape of the region.

HONOR aggressively expanded into the European and Asia Pacific* markets, driving a 455% YoY increase in its global foldable shipments in Q2 2024, the largest YoY growth among all brands. HONOR targeted markets outside China with its ultra-slim Magic V2, which is less than 10mm thick when folded. In Q2 2024, the HONOR Magic V2 was the most-shipped book-type foldable across all regions excluding China, where Huawei dominates.

Motorola captured the highest foldable market share in both North America and Latin America. The LATAM foldable market surged 458% YoY driven by the strong performance of the Razr 40 Series. Motorola has secured the most diverse regional coverage among Chinese OEMs, with significant shipment increases in Europe, Asia, and other markets. Overall, Motorola achieved triple-digit YoY growth in global shipments in Q2 2024.

The foldable market outside China, once dominated almost solely by Samsung, has now become a fiercely competitive battleground for OEMs. HONOR and Motorola, both of which achieved significant success in H1 2024, have already launched their new follow-up models, the Magic V3 and Razr 50 series, respectively. Xiaomi and vivo also began launching foldables in markets outside China this year. Samsung is strongly expected to reclaim the leading global position with the launch of the new Z6 Series in Q3 2024, but the intensified competition will likely result in a significant YoY decline in its market share.

­Europe’s smartphone market continued its recovery for the second consecutive quarter in Q2 2024, registering 10% YoY shipment growth, according to Counterpoint Research’s Market Monitor Shipment Tracker. The recovery can be primarily attributed to sustained macroeconomic improvements reviving consumer demand. While Western Europe registered 8% YoY growth, Central and Eastern Europe registered 12% YoY growth.

Commenting on the market scenario, Associate Director Jan Stryjak said, “The growth for two consecutive quarters reiterates returning consumer confidence after a difficult 2023. More people are now replacing their smartphones after delaying purchases for a few years due to economic uncertainty. While key leading OEMs registered growth and maintained their positions, Chinese OEMs further aided the recovery by targeting mid-price segments, like TECNO in Central and Eastern Europe and HONOR in Western Europe.”

Commenting on the outlook, Vice President, Research Peter Richardson said, “For H2 2024, we will continue to see growth owing to seasonality coupled with economic recovery and a low base. Key launches from Samsung and Apple will further push the premium segment’s market share, which was 25% in Western Europe in Q2 and is gradually growing in Central and Eastern Europe. Emerging players will likely continue to gain market share, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe due to regular new launches and focus on non-premium segments. Overall, single-digit growth is expected in coming years as the market will primarily be driven by replacement demand, while premium smartphones will entail longer replacement cycles.”

Market summary

  • Samsung maintained its lead and grew 8% compared to Q2 2023, which was its lowest quarter since 2015 in terms of shipments. While the Galaxy S24 series continued to lead in the region, the latest generation of A series also complemented the growth.
  • Apple registered a strong rebound with 18% YoY growth and regained market share. With the launch of its iPhone 16 series in Q3 2024, Apple will likely register more growth. However, a lack of Apple Intelligence features in the EU region due to regulatory issues could slow the upgrade rate.
  • Xiaomi grew 1% YoY in Europe, facing competition from other Chinese OEMs in Central and Eastern Europe, where it fell 17%. But this decline was offset by its 41% growth in Western Europe.
  • TECNO was the fastest-growing major brand in the region, replacing HONOR for the fifth spot. Primarily present in Central and Eastern Europe (especially Russia), TECNO continues to increase its offerings in the mid-tier price band.
  • Google grew 74% YoY as the brand expanded to new markets while growing in the established ones. The new Pixel 8A further aided the growth.

WWDC 2024: Apple must make a strong statement about GenAI

Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) is just around the corner, and this edition is going to be its most important in recent years. There is increasing adoption of GenAI in smartphones and several of Apple’s competitors have gained a head start. There is a lot of expectation riding on what Apple will unveil in its own GenAI strategy. Apple has the power to drive awareness of AI-mediated features in a way that few other players can, but its own AI capabilities are weak, so it has work to do.

Apple will highlight future GenAI use cases

Apple must make a strong statement about GenAI to stay relevant. GenAI is subject of massive hype right now, even if real use cases are thin on the ground. Apple has the opportunity to recapture some of initiative it has lost to others. But it’s not going to be easy.

Apple is expected to announce how it will use GenAI models. It will explain how it goes beyond user-interface-level use cases and focus on application-level use cases. We therefore expect Apple will create a foundation for developers to integrate LLM’s into applications.

Siri is likely to get a significant update. Siri has been a laggard in voice assistants – a position that has become more and more noticeable as GenAI momentum has gathered pace. Future scenarios for how GenAI and AI more broadly, can deliver real value to consumers often focus on the evolving role for digital assistants that are based on software agents. In theory, these assistants will be capable of more human-like interactions, learn from users’ behaviour, and take actions on a user’s behalf. For example, users will be able to ask Siri to book hotels or flights for them without having to open individual applications. This type of intent-based or action-based approach is central to things like the Rabbit R1, the failed Humane AI Pin and seen in concepts such as Deutsche Telekom’s demo during MWC24. But there a lot of questions about where data resides, how privacy in managed, the role of applications and more. We expect that Apple has been thinking about these aspects and will be ready to address them.

To achieve any of this, the Apple will need to share information with third party applications to allow for natural interactions via Siri. This will likely raise as many questions as it answers. But Apple is one of the few companies that just might be able to pull this off.

180 million iPhone users to experience Apple’s native on-device GenAI capabilities by 2025

One of the challenges of GenAI is how to market its benefits to end consumers. Leveraging GenAI capabilities, smartphones will slowly learn and align more to their users’ habits and needs. This is a challenging aspect to market and can be best understood only when a user experiences it while using the devices over time. This is where Apple’s scale comes into play.

We expect the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max and will be powered by Apple’s native on-device Gen AI capabilities. In addition to on-device AI, Apple is also likely to have cloud-based GenAI use cases, which can potentially be made available to broader iPhone installed base of users.

Privacy to be a key narrative

The future of AI is likely to be hybrid, with some use cases running on device while others use cloud resources. This will depend on the compute requirements and the criticality of the use cases.  We would be surprised if Apple let’s any third-party models run natively on iPhones. Apple may have to negotiate a way to preserve user data while benefiting from aspects of the third-party models. Alternatively, use cases involving third party models could run in the cloud with Apple harvesting the results for use on device.

Either way, privacy will be a primary consideration given Apple’s strong narrative of “what happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone”, which has resonated with Apple’s customer base.

Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Series Dominates GenAI-capable Smartphone Market in Q1 2024

  • GenAI-capable smartphones’ share in global smartphone sales increased to 6% in Q1 2024 from just 1.3% in the previous quarter.
  • The premium segment contributed over 70% of GenAI-capable smartphone sales in Q1 2024.
  • Samsung captured the top three spots and contributed 58% to the segment.
  • Chinese OEMs captured six positions in the list of top 10 best-selling GenAI-capable smartphones in Q1 2024.

Seoul, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Fort Collins, Hong Kong, London, New Delhi, San Diego, Taipei, Tokyo – May 30, 2024

GenAI-capable smartphones contributed 6% to global smartphone sales in Q1 2024, a significant increase from just 1.3% in the previous quarter, according to the latest research from Counterpoint’s Global Handset Model Sales Tracker. GenAI capabilities have opened new opportunities for smartphone brands and may potentially drive the market’s growth in the coming years. Premium smartphones (wholesale price >$600) accounted for over 70% of GenAI-capable smartphone sales in Q1. The number of GenAI-capable smartphone models increased from 16 to over 30 during just Q1, indicating brands’ growing interest in this segment.

Share of Global Top-10 Best-selling GenAI-Capable Smartphone, Q1 2024

Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series dominated the GenAI-capable smartphone market in Q1, securing the top three spots in the top-10 list for best-selling GenAI-capable smartphones. The Galaxy S24 Ultra was the best-selling GenAI-capable smartphone, commanding over 30% market share, more than the combined share of the next two smartphones. Samsung’s aggressive marketing campaign highlighting the Galaxy S24’s GenAI capabilities, coupled with its established global presence, led the brand to take a 58% share of the GenAI segment. GenAI features like chat/note assist, circle to search, and live translate are gaining traction with users and garnering positive initial reviews.

Chinese brands captured six positions in the top-10 list. The Xiaomi 14 and vivo X100 models ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. Leading Chinese brands like Xiaomi, vivo, HONOR and OPPO are aggressively integrating GenAI features across their offerings, including features like AI-generated portraits, AI eraser tools and robust offline virtual assistants. Chinese brands’ strategy to focus on their home market first has led to China becoming the world’s largest GenAI-capable smartphone market, capturing one-third of the global market.

For 2024, we expect GenAI-capable smartphones to contribute 11% of the overall smartphone market as newer use cases arise and consumer awareness increases around the segment. Media-focused features and personalized virtual assistants are expected to be major drivers of adoption. On the hardware side, more GenAI-capable chipsets from major semiconductor firms at affordable prices will further aid the growth of the segment. We are anticipating the entry of Apple later this year into the GenAI segment with its 2024 iPhone lineup.

Counterpoint Research defines the GenAI smartphone as a mobile device that leverages large-scale, pre-trained generative AI models to create original content or perform contextually-aware tasks. We expect such devices to have multimodal capabilities, allowing them to process text, image, voice and other inputs to generate a variety of output and enable a user experience that is fluid and seamless. We expect the hardware specifications of such devices will likely evolve as the technology advances. But at present, a device should have hardware capabilities that are comparable to or exceed the performance of current flagship smartphones to effectively run generative AI models.

China’s Foldables Sell-through Up ~50% in Q1 2024 as Book-type Sales Nearly Double

  • China’s Q1 2024 foldable smartphone sell-through grew 48% YoY.
  • The key driver was book-type foldables which almost doubled in shipments, while flip type remained muted.
  • Thinner, lighter iterations and more use cases have boosted consumer demand for book-type foldables.
  • We expect China’s foldables market to continue with healthy growth.

China’s foldable smartphone sell-through climbed 48% YoY in Q1 2024, continuing its robust growth momentum, while the overall smartphone market rose only 2% YoY during the quarter. Foldable smartphones have been a key strategic focus for Chinese smartphone OEMs since early 2020. These OEMs hope that the new form factor will help revive the otherwise stagnant smartphone market and expand their penetration in the premium segment.

Additionally, book-type foldable shipments grew 91% YoY in Q1 2024 while those of clamshell-type foldables slipped 1% YoY, according to Counterpoint’s Weekly Data Tracker Service. There was a significant surge in book-type foldables as consumers have started to favor this form factor over the clamshell type because of the wider range of use cases they offer. The large screen allows for better multitasking capabilities, enabling users to run multiple apps at the same time and switch back and forth more efficiently. The almost tablet-like experience when unfolded makes them ideal for work-related tasks such as editing documents and managing emails, as well as for entertainment activities like watching videos and gaming. Additionally, after many generations, book-type foldables have also become thinner and lighter, making them more appealing to consumers.

Huawei has a strong foothold in China’s foldables market and was one of the first OEMs to launch foldable products. In Q1 2024, Huawei led sales in both book-type and clamshell-type foldables, thus marking a resurgence. The increase in Huawei’s market share was primarily due to the introduction of 5G-enabled foldables for the first time, with the book-type Mate X5 and the clamshell-type Pocket 2 becoming bestsellers immediately upon release. Both foldables are powered by Huawei’s latest self-developed 5G-enabled SoC, the same chipset that drives the Mate 60 series.

The foldable market has made significant strides in enhancing both software and hardware. Recent launches, in particular, have showcased notable advancements. The HONOR Magic Vs2 claims to be one of the lightest book-type foldable in the market, weighing only 229g, on par with that of bar phones. The phone is also quite slim, measuring 5.1mm when unfolded and 10.7 mm when folded. The light weight is due to the aerospace-grace magnesium alloy frame and the Luban titanium hinge. The Magic Vs2 also has a fair price value, starting at RMB 6,999 (around $950).

Apart from the hardware, OEMs have also focused on enhancing the software to improve user experience. Huawei showcased some outstanding software optimizations in its latest book-type foldable, the Mate X5. Huawei’s pioneering air gesture control feature is also being incorporated in the Mate X5 and can be used in both the inner and outer displays. Users can use hand gestures to navigate content, watch videos and even take screenshots without touching the screen. Additionally, Huawei has collaborated with software partners to build a foldable ecosystem, deeply customizing many leading apps on the market to better suit foldables.

For 2024, Chinese OEMs have adopted a more cautious approach with regard to launching new foldables and will be focusing more on profitability than aggressive expansion. Evidently, the number of new launches has declined in Q1 2024 compared to previous quarters. Nonetheless, we expect the foldable market to remain a bright spot in China’s smartphone market, maintaining robust growth.
