IDC: Chinese smartphone market declines in 2019, coronavirus will disturb 2020 too

11 February 2020
2019 is the third year in a row with a decline in shipments for the Chinese market.

Sort by:

So, their extra 40 million "sales" in the global figures actually comes entirely from China?

      potato4k, 11 Feb 2020Samsung already shut down their factory in China last year.... moreThey shut it down as its the only way to avoid the Chinese copy laws. The laws that allows Chinese brands to cherry pick any design a foreign manufacturer uses.

        Peter UK, 11 Feb 2020Samsung nowhere to be found :oSamsung already shut down their factory in China last year. They just cannot compete.

          Good to see the data, but it's not unexpected. Growth is declining as those who want a smartphone already bought one, thus the numbers will normalize to simply be upgraders.

            I'm glad for see this reason. Americans society never change true economic and my idea at final be true like other years.
            people knowledgeable and attention to price In exchange for quality not advertise or brand like kind culture is developing.
            I hope main smart phone os never mind to society and help ro de

              Anonymous, 11 Feb 2020And Apple dont? Since their sales in united state is still ... moreCom'on man, have some sense. Don't be an ldiot!
              I'm talking about 30% increase yoy (100-140 million), when has Apple experienced that growth after becoming big?
              It's not normal for a company to grow that much unless a big competitor lost big due to a scandal or something.

                  Thiese numbers about huawei selling those quantities is no real surprise, given that each year china has more than 11 million "new consumers" , anything, anything indeed sells BIG in china, specially from ccp's vanguard weapon huawei, tjat turns out to be more powerful than nukes…

                      IQOO and ThinQ are two weird name for phone

                        30% yoy increase for Huawei, wow!
                        You'd stupid to believe that they are not in bed with ccp.

                        For a company that sells hundreds of millions of phones, 30% increase, that's definitely not normal.

                          So now all these Chinese smartphones OEM's will dump their unsold trash in India. GOI should impose heavy import, custom duty and other taxes to inflate their prices.

                            This is a conspiracy. Most likely this virus was released either to affect most electronic companies or it's a side effect of another target of the responsible country/person.
