Q3 2023 Highlights

Published Date: November 10, 2023

• China’s smartphone shipments fell 2% YoY in Q3 2023, narrowing the YoY decline sequentially. This was due to OEMs restocking in preparation for new model launches.

• Huawei’s shipments soared 41% YoY as its newly launched Mate 60 series with Kirin SoC gained momentum immediately after the launch. Apple experienced a slight YoY uptick in shipments driven by the newly launched iPhone 15 series, but the initial supply constraints impacted its overall performance. HONOR also increased YoY mainly driven by the hot-selling HONOR X50 and HONOR 90. OnePlus’ robust growth drove up OPPO’s shipments.

• We expect to see a YoY growth in Q4 2023 as all Chinese OEMs are expected to launch their new models then. It is worth noting that this will come on last year’s low base, as many Chinese cities were still under lockdowns during the same period last year.

Q2 2023 Highlights

Published Date: August 17, 2023

• Smartphone shipments in China fell 4% YoY in Q2 2023 though OEMs provided big promotions during the 618 festival. This was due to weak demands resulting from economic headwinds.

• Apple saw the biggest YoY growth in Q2 as the OEM offered generous price-cuts for the iPhone 14 series during the 618 period. Besides, it still has no competitors in the high-end market which has proven to be more resilient during market headwinds.

• OPPO’s share grew slightly (YoY) as OnePlus showed strong growth piggybacking of the channel support from OPPO. OnePlus compensated for OPPO’s limited online presence by using its online-centric business model to effectively tap into the segment.

• vivo and Xiaomi saw YoY declines as weak economy dampened consumer spending.

• HONOR’s share dropped significantly (YoY) partially because Huawei’s growth posted a challenge for HONOR.

• We anticipate an improvement in smartphone shipments during H2 compared to H1, a strong rebound does not seem to be on the horizon as challenges that affected the performance in H1 are likely to persist.

Q1 2023 Highlights

Published Date: May 16, 2023

• China’s smartphone shipments declined 8% YoY in Q1 2023, reaching their lowest level since Q1 2020. However, this was an improvement from the double-digit YoY declines seen in previous quarters as well as a sign of bottoming out.

• Apple’s market share in China increased to 20% in Q1 2023 from 18% in Q1 2022. This was driven by its continued expansion in China’s premium segment with more aggressive promotion and marketing campaigns for the iPhone 14 series.

• In contrast, all the major Android OEMs saw YoY declines as demand in the mass market remained weak. OEMs remained cautious in ramping up production to manage demand carefully and avoid any unhealthy inventory build-up in the market.

• Despite this caution, we expect the market to further recover in H2 2023, as inventory pressure continues to ease and consumer sentiments improve.

The OEM has concentrated its efforts in the home market post the trade ban which helped it grow 12% YoY in the region. China now contributes to 60% of the global shipments for Huawei.

• OPPO (19% YoY), vivo (11% YoY) and Xiaomi (8% YoY) all declined during the quarter. Amidst the declining home market, the OEMs have been expanding overseas to attain growth.

• Apple grew 6% YoY driven by the popularity of the iPhone 11 series, which was the first iPhone with dual cameras and launched at a price lesser than its predecessor.

China led the global 5G market contributing to over 67% of the total 5G shipments in 2019 Q4. This was driven by Huawei (including HONOR), which alone shipped over 6 million 5G devices in the region during the quarter.

• The sustained decline can be attributed to the overall economic downturn in China which has resulted in consumers’ prolonged replacement cycles for smartphones.

• Consumer demand continues to remain divided. While some are delaying smartphone upgrades others are buying other electronic products to satisfy their desire for freshness.

• In addition, other factors affecting sales in Q1 2019 includes the lack of new product launches.
