2021 China Smartphone SoC Market Ranking: MediaTek/Qualcomm ranked in the top two

Jiwei network news 2021 has ended, according to CINNO Research data, in 2021 China's smartphone SoC market terminal sales of 314 million, an increase of 3%. Among them, MediaTek and Qualcomm ranked first and second with sales of 110 million and 106 million terminals respectively, and MediaTek became the king of China's smartphone SoC in 2021.

Compared with the "three-legged standing" pattern of Huawei HiSilicon, Qualcomm and MediaTek in 2020, in 2021, it will gradually show the "two super, one strong" competition pattern of MediaTek, Qualcomm and Apple. Affected by the ban, HiSilicon chip sales in 2021 are only 30 million, down 68.6% year-on-year, and its exit market share is divided by MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Apple.

In recent years, the consumer market's fanatical pursuit of smartphones has spawned a large demand for smartphone chips, and smartphone chipset shipments have increased year by year. Among them, MediaTek positioned itself in the low-end market, and its market share increased steadily; Qualcomm followed closely behind, and snapdragon chips gradually iterated to meet the needs of the public. ZhanRui has also achieved market share growth by expanding its customer base.

The performance of smartphones is an important demand point for consumers, and smartphone chips are the core hardware to ensure the performance of smartphones. In the future, the popularity of the smartphone chip market will continue to rise, and it is worth looking forward to whether MediaTek, which has been leading the way, can further challenge Qualcomm in the high-end market.

In addition to smart phones, SoCs are widely used in TWS headphones, smart speakers, sweeping robots and other fields.

From the perspective of market application, domestic SoC enterprises have formed a certain competitiveness in various sub-industries.

After HiSilicon and Zhan Rui, Rockchip Micro, Jingchen Shares, Quanzhi Technology, Beijing Junzheng is basically in the second echelon of domestic SoC enterprises, of which Rockchip Micro has strong research and development strength, and the products are used in tablet computers, Chromebooks, set-top boxes, security fields, etc.; Crystal Morning shares have been invested in Xiaomi and TCL, which is the domestic smart TV SoC leader; Quanzhi Technology has strong competitiveness in the field of sweeping robots, and has also launched a series of products based on THERISC-V instruction set, but the overall application scenarios are more dispersed.
