Report: Expected to produce about 1.39 billion smartphones in 2022, Apple threatens the Samsung championship throne

IT Home February 6 news, according to the Taiwan Economic Daily, TrendForce survey shows that in 2022, the annual output of smart phones is expected to reach 1.386 billion units, an annual growth rate of 3.8%; 5G mobile phone production is expected to be about 660 million units, with a market share of 47.5%.

In terms of mobile phone brands, the report expects Samsung to continue to occupy the first place in the market, with a market share of about 20%; Apple ranks second with 18%, and the brands with a market share of 3 to 5 are Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo, with a market share of 16%, 15% and 11%.

TrendForce said Samsung's total production this year is expected to be about 276 million units, an annual growth rate of 1.1%. However, as Samsung's developed market becomes more competitive and the demand for entry-level models in the to-develop market is higher, it will be more difficult to maintain market share in the future.

In Apple, the market generally expects that Apple will launch a new iPhone SE (SE third generation) at the end of the first quarter, which is expected to be equipped with a 4.7-inch LCD screen, A15 processor and support for 5G, and the rest of the specifications are similar to the 2nd generation SE. Related news predicts that Apple will maintain the release of 4 new machines in the second half of the year, namely two 6.1-inch screens and two 6.7-inch screen models.
