AI use cases in smartphones are still in the early stages, with iOS focusing on specific applications and Android adopting a broader approach. This evolution is expected to increase device costs. As AI privacy concerns grow due to user-generated data training, new business models will emerge. Future smartphones will be more personalized, potentially eliminating the need for individual apps, with voice-based interactions transforming user engagement. This report presents an overview of Generative AI in smartphones and the emerging GenAI momentum in the coming years, including key players driving GenAI adoption. The report also includes shipment outlook and recent updates and forecasts for GenAI smartphones.
MediaTek dominated the smartphone SoC market in Q1 2024 with a share of 40%. Increasing demand for 5G SoCs, along with the successful launch of the company’s third-generation flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9300, drove the growth. In MediaTek’s portfolio, 5G penetration is growing in the low-tier segment, which should lead to market share gains for MediaTek, driven by its relative strength in entry-level 5G chipsets. Qualcomm captured a 23% share in the smartphone AP/SoC market during the quarter, driven by the launch of flagship chipset Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and design wins for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 from Chinese smartphone OEMs. Qualcomm also lost some market share to Samsung, as the new Galaxy S24 series was launched with both Qualcomm and Samsung chipsets. Qualcomm dominated the AP market with a 36% share in Q1 2024 in terms of revenue. The premium segment drove Qualcomm’s revenue with the launch of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while design wins for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 from Chinese smartphone OEMs added to the revenue. Apple was the second largest contributor in the AP market in Q1 2024 in terms of revenue with a 33% share. Apple’s revenue declined QoQ due to seasonality. MediaTek captured the third position with a 17% share in the total global smartphone AP/SoC revenues. MediaTek’s revenue declined QoQ in Q1 2024 due to seasonality and LTE SoC shipments declining significantly in the quarter. However, growing demand for 5G and the successful ramp-up of the company’s third-generation flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9300, contributed to the overall annual growth in shipments.
This comprehensive study delves into the intricate details of the semiconductor manufacturing industry, specifically focusing on the major foundry capacity, wafer pricing, and utilization rates for processes at 28nm and below. It also provides the share of major smartphone AP vendors in the primary foundry node. Understanding these critical metrics is paramount for making decisions in this dynamic market, as the semiconductor landscape continues to evolve rapidly.
