【Mobile Phone China News】Apple has a great influence in the global mobile phone market. In China's high-end mobile phone market, almost no mobile phone manufacturers can become Apple's opponents. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers are aiming to surpass Apple, but it turns out that this may not be easy.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Apple's market share in China's mobile phone market ranked first
According to data released wednesday by research firm Counterpoint Research, Apple became the largest smartphone supplier in China in the fourth quarter of 2021, with the highest market share in China on record. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Apple accounted for 23%; followed by vivo, accounting for 19%; OPPO third, accounting for 17%; Glory after the split from Huawei ranked fourth with 15%; Xiaomi accounted for 13%, ranking fifth.
iPhone 13 Series
The reason why Apple can achieve such good results in the fourth quarter is inseparable from the release of the iPhone 13 series. According to data previously released by Counterpoint Research, Apple continues to top the list of smartphone brands in terms of sales and revenue in China for six consecutive weeks. After the release of the iPhone 13 (week 39), Apple ranked first in the Chinese market. Apple has since led the way for most of the time, rarely giving way to Chinese rival vivo. The new iPhone 13 led to success.
In addition, research director Tom Kang said in commenting on the outlook: "So far, Apple's only real competitor in China is Huawei, which is now facing serious production problems due to US sanctions. Apple is likely to continue to maintain high levels in China until other competitors catch up in brand and quality. ”
