London, Boston, Toronto, New Delhi, Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, Seoul – September 5, 2023
Smartphoneshipments in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region increased 1% YoY and 7% QoQ in Q2 2023, according to the latest research from Counterpoint’sMarket Monitor Service. This was the MEA smartphone market’s first meaningful rebound in five quarters, or since the global inflation crisis started. Consumer sentiment improved materially during the quarter, as inflation rates fell and local currencies stabilized. This came as a welcome relief for embattled OEMs, which had been sitting on an alarming level of inventory in 2022. They utilized the opportunity to destock and return to a more normal pattern of inventory and product launches.
Commenting on the market’s performance,Senior Analyst Yang Wangsaid, “TheMEAregion seems to be the first to come out of the global downturn in thesmartphonemarket. Market activity picked up during the quarter on better macroeconomic environment and consumers could afford to be more optimistic about ‘big ticket’ item purchases. This was reflected in robustRamadanand Easter sales and throughout the quarter. The encouraging performances show once again that the MEA region could be the last remaining untapped smartphonemarket.的re is still significant potential for large segments of the population to upgrade to smartphones.”
Looking at individual brands, Samsung, TECNO andApplewere the biggest winners.Samsung’s rebound can be attributed to the lower-pricedGalaxyA series’ strong sales, while new 5G and premium-end models also did well.TECNO, and sister brandInfinixto some extent, performed very well due to better economic conditions, particularly for lower income groups, and aggressive market entries in the Middle East. TECNO andInfinix’ssuccesses, however, can be partly attributed to the cannibalization ofitel’s market share. Lastly,Applehad an outstanding quarter to round off a very strong iPhone 14 series cycle. TheOEMmanaged to increase penetration in key Middle East markets with the higher-priced Pro and Pro Max models getting good reception.
On the other hand,西aomiretreated 17% YoY as it faced strong competition from Samsung and Transsion brands in the mid-range. Outside of the top 10,OPPOandvivocontinued to slide as the availability of the brands’ stock contracted and market penetration activities shrank. However,realmemaintained positive momentum due to increasing product availability in new markets.
Commenting on pricing trends in the MEA smartphone market, Wang said, “The premium end is usually an afterthought for the MEA market, but the segment was an outperformer of Q2 2023. The sales of smartphones priced above $800 grew 93% YoY, largely due to Apple’s high-end models in the iPhone 14 series. The OEM’s share increased in key GCC markets, while it was seen making efforts to expand distribution channels in Africa. Apple’s success in the MEA region is another proof of the brand’s strong global appeal. As the process of urbanization and industrialization continues across the region, Apple can expect to remain one of the topOEMsin the region.”

Why is the smartphone market declining in Q1 2022?
的global smartphone market growth saw a decline of 7% YoY, shipping 328 million units in Q1 2022 caused by the ongoing component shortages, as well as COVID resurgence at the beginning of the quarter and the Russia-Ukraine war towards the end. The global smartphone market also, as expected, had a seasonal decline of 12% QoQ. The component supply crunch was felt more severely by major Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi, OPPO* and vivo as compared with Samsung, which seems to have overcome component shortages that affected its supply last year, as evidenced by higher-than-expected growth in its shipments despite a late flagship launch.
Consequently, Samsung regained the top spot from Apple which had emerged as the biggest smartphone vendor globally in Q4 2021 thanks to its latest iPhone 13 series.
Which country has the highest market share of smartphones globally?
With its share at around 22.5% of the global smartphone shipments in Q1 2022,Chinaremains the world’s biggest smartphone market. This is down from around 25.6% in Q1 2021 as China’s economy grew slower than expected due to COVID-related lockdowns and shipment volumes declined by over 19% YoY. While China’s share of global smartphone market growth (shipments) remains flat QoQ thanks to a small peak in demand during Chinese New Year and as the global smartphone market declined QoQ due to seasonality, in terms of absolute shipments, China saw a quarterly decline of over 12%.
HONOR has emerged as the biggest smartphone player in China, chipping into vivo and OPPO*’s shares and stepping into the position previously held by Huawei from which it recently separated. Although vivo did not succeed in regaining the top position due to HONOR’s rise at a time when it is itself facing component shortages, it did recover somewhat thanks to its newly launched mid-end S12 series that is popular with younger customers and the affordable the Y series which showed strong performance in the quarter.

Smartphone shipments in China fell 4% YoY in Q2 2023 though OEMs provided big promotions during the 618 festival. This was due to weak demands resulting from economic headwinds.
Apple saw the biggest YoY growth in Q2 as the OEM offered generous price-cuts for the iPhone 14 series during the 618 period. Besides, it still has no competitors in the high-end market which has proven to be more resilient during market headwinds.
OPPO’s share grew slightly (YoY) as OnePlus showed strong growth piggybacking of the channel support from OPPO. OnePlus compensated for OPPO’s limited online presence by using its online-centric business model to effectively tap into the segment.
vivo and Xiaomi saw YoY declines as weak economy dampened consumer spending.
HONOR’s share dropped significantly (YoY) partially because Huawei’s growth posted a challenge for HONOR.
We anticipate an improvement in smartphone shipments during H2 compared to H1, a strong rebound does not seem to be on the horizon as challenges that affected the performance in H1 are likely to persist.
Note: HONOR separated from Huawei in Q4 2020 and its market share does not include Huawei brand family volumes starting Q1 2021. * OPPO includes OnePlus since Q3 2021.

Q1 2023 Highlights
Published Date: May 16, 2023
China’s smartphone shipments declined 8% YoY in Q1 2023, reaching their lowest level since Q1 2020. However, this was an improvement from the double-digit YoY declines seen in previous quarters as well as a sign of bottoming out.
Apple’s market share in China increased to 20% in Q1 2023 from 18% in Q1 2022. This was driven by its continued expansion in China’s premium segment with more aggressive promotion and marketing campaigns for the iPhone 14 series.
In contrast, all the major Android OEMs saw YoY declines as demand in the mass market remained weak. OEMs remained cautious in ramping up production to manage demand carefully and avoid any unhealthy inventory build-up in the market.
Despite this caution, we expect the market to further recover in H2 2023, as inventory pressure continues to ease and consumer sentiments improve.

Withmacroeconomicheadwinds continuing to impact demand, Indonesia’ssmartphoneshipments declined 10% YoY in Q2 2023, according to Counterpoint’sMonthly Indonesia Smartphone Tracker. The increase in shopping activity during the Eid al-Fitr festivities in April was also lower than last year. Promotions such as price discounts, bundled offers and installment and trade-in schemes failed to have the desired impact on sales. Consumers’ buying interest shifted to accommodating the increased price of commodities like fuel, and household and personal products, along with services availed during the festival season, such as travel.

OPPOrecaptured the top spot inthe marketin Q2 2023 with a 21% share,largely supportedby its low-endmodels intheA17 series.的brandcontinued its aggressive marketing campaign and the models released in the previous quarter, such as the Reno8 T series and Find N2 Flip, had a spillover effect on its visibility in the market. The Galaxy A04 series made a significant contribution toSamsung’s volumes, restricting the brand’s shipment share decline to just 1% point.
Among topOEMs, onlyInfinixsaw an increase in its shipments, at 17% YoY. The brand focused on the <$200 price band, offering better specifications in its models. Besides, Infinix was aggressive with its marketing activities to increase awareness and visibility for the brand. Its newly launched products, such as the Note 30 series, Hot 30 series and the Smart 7 series, contributed significant volumes to the brand’s overall shipments.
西aomi’s shipment decline significantly softened to 12% YoY in Q2 2023 from 47% YoY in Q2 2022. Recent initiatives indicated that西aomihad worked on strengthening its supply and distribution. The OEM made strong marketing moves during the quarter, such as new product launches and rejigging of discount schemes. Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi’s performance was driven by its newly launched models, especially the Redmi A2 series and Redmi Note 12 series.
5Gsmartphone shipments in the <$400 price band increased 11% YoY in Q2. Key OEMs in this segment included Samsung with its Galaxy A14 5G, A23 5G and A34 5G series and Xiaomi with its Redmi Note 12 series. Newcomer iQOO Z7 5G series also joined this segment.
Outlook
Looking ahead, we expect a continued macroeconomic recovery in H2 2023 to lift the smartphone market.Senior Analyst Febriman Abdillahsaid, “Price becomes more crucial considering the current macroeconomic climate, which has increased commodity prices. Giving incentives to consumers, like discounts, bundled offers, bonuses and trade-in schemes, can be one option to keep the market attractive. The incentives may even be relevant for the mid-range and premium segments.”
At the brand level, Xiaomi’s new initiatives to bring prices down may attract consumers and help the brand grow this year. Infinix may grow further as it becomes more popular in the market.

Many of the major brands saw significant downswings this quarter. Thoughrealme继续第一品牌,其市场hare reduced to 17.3% after a 37% YoY decline in shipments due to limited product launches and weakened smartphone demand. The brand could keep its number one spot due to the popularity of its C55 model, which was also the market’s top-selling model in Q2 2023, and the C53 model, which was sold out on Lazada overnight.Samsungexperienced a YoY shipment decline of 26% in Q2 2023, owing again to fewer model launches and limited promotions in the budget segment.
西aomi超过朋友的第三位置的Ph值ilippines in Q2 2023. The brand recorded 19% YoY growth boosted by a good reception of its Note 12 series. Xiaomi also held its annual fan festival in April, where it offered promotions, especially on the newly launched Note 12 series and popular 12C model, further fuelling its growth.
OPPOandvivowitnessed shipment declines of 34% and 43%, respectively. Both brands were part of the payday promotions in June, but the offers were restricted more toward the older models to clear inventory.Infinixrecorded marginal growth of around 3% but increased its market share to 9.7% to enter the top five brands for the quarter. Its budget Hot 30 series performed well, while the Note 30 series got a good reception as a decent gaming phone.
TECNOperformed well in this quarter, recording 73% YoY shipment growth driven by its quick, successive model launches. The newly launched Spark Go and Spark 10 series are doing particularly well due to their competitive prices.
Shipments of smartphones priced less than $200 and in the $200-$399 segment decreased by 22% and 16% YoY, respectively, due to constrained consumer spending. The $400-$599 segment recorded a bigger decline of 54% as it saw fewer launches by major brands such as Samsung and realme.
然而,溢价部分(> 600美元)见证了26% YoY increase, the only segment to show YoY growth. Apple still led this segment with a 43% share. The brand’s official reseller, Powermac, has expanded its Apple Premium Partnership store presence to give Apple customers an enhanced experience along with deals and promotions. Other offers by retailers centered around 0% installments and iPhone bundled offers.
For this quarter, 5G smartphones saw a decline in all price segments except the below $200 segment, which witnessed a 25% YoY growth driven by the introduction of Infinix Zero 5G and Note 30, along with TECNO’s 5G version of the Spark 10 series. Telecom operators are making efforts to keep up with operators like Globe Telecom, which recently rolled out its 5G services at 66 more sites. However, 5G infrastructure development is still slow in the Philippines and is mainly centered around urban areas like Greater Manila, Cebu and Davao.
Outlook
Inflationary pressures have been decreasing in the Philippines, thus giving some relief to consumers. While we may see another quarter of YoY decline, demand is likely to increase, especially with online and offline channel promotions. The premium segment is also expected to do well as Apple and Samsung launch premium models in the coming quarter.

AmongOEMs, Apple, Huawei and realme managed to achieve positive YoY growth.Applemaintained excellent sales performance with 7% YoY growth as its position in the premium segment remained unchallenged. The premium segment has proven to be more resilient during economic headwinds. Even within Apple, the sales share of the more premium Pro models grew from around one-third in Q2 2022 to around half in Q2 2023.
Sales of OEMs excluding Apple dropped 5.5% YoY, with all major Android OEMs except Huawei and realme seeing YoY declines.

Notably,OnePlusmanaged to maintain its strong growth momentum from Q1 2023 and achieved YoY growth of 254% in Q2 on the back of channel support from OPPO. On the other hand, OnePlus played an important role in compensating for OPPO’s limited online presence by using its online-centric business model to effectively tap into the segment.
Huawei的智能手机销量在2023年第二季度同比增长了58%brand managed to resume normal product launches this year. Leveraging its well-established brand image and strong offline footprint, especially in top-tier cities, Huawei witnessed a surge in sales after resolving its product shortages.
HONORand西aomisaw their market shares drop in Q2 2023 on escalating competition. But HONOR has been catching up in offline presence in China.
With a disappointing performance in H1 2023, we have revised downwards our 2023 forecast for China’s smartphone market – from flat growth to a low single-digit YoY decrease. While we anticipate an improvement in smartphone sales during H2 when compared to H1, a strong rebound does not seem to be on the horizon as challenges that affected the performance in H1 are likely to persist.

London, San Diego, New Delhi, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Seoul, Hong Kong – July 20, 2023
Sales of fast charging-capable (>10 watts) smartphones accounted for almost 80% of the global smartphone market in Q1 2023, compared to 74% in Q1 2022 and 29% in Q1 2018, according toCounterpoint Research’s Global Quarterly Smartphone Fast Charging Report. The increasing adoption of fast charging-capable smartphones is attributed to growing smartphone usage and continuous advancements in hardware.
Need for fast charging
Nearly half of all smartphone users spend at least five hours a day on their devices.
的y use the smartphone to stay connected with friends and family, browse the internet, stream content, and play games.
Besides, advances in smartphone technology, such as the widespread adoption of 5G connectivity and improvements in cameras, displays and processors, have increased the smartphone’s power requirement while enhancing the overall user experience.
的se factors have, in turn, led to the demand for smartphones that can be charged faster to ensure uninterrupted usage for at least a full day. As a result, smartphone brands have recognized the importance of fast-charging capabilities and started to embed them in their portfolios.
Fast charging differentiating feature for smartphone brands
Chinese brands are leveraging fast charging as a selling pointto attract consumers. For instance, realme and Xiaomi offer smartphones with power capabilities exceeding 200W. Furthermore, Xiaomi andOPPO recently showcased smartphoneswith an impressive 300W fast charging capability. These brands aim to provide extremely fast charging speeds, enabling users to charge their phones within a few minutes.
Smartphone brands are focusing on making the fast-charging technology affordable. Smartphone brands are embedding fast charging into their lower-priced models as a differentiating factor. While fast charging has already become a standard feature in the >$200 price segment,smartphone brands are now focusingon providing higher-power charging in this segment to achieve the fastest charging speeds. In Q1 2023, the average power for fast-charging smartphones globally reached 34W, compared to 30W in Q1 2022 and 18W in Q1 2018. Smartphones capable of delivering more than 30W can fully charge a completely drained phone in approximately an hour. Charging a smartphone within an hour can be a compelling selling point for smartphone brands.
Chinese smartphone brands are leading this trend by also introducing higher-wattage charging across different price points, especially in the Chinese market where the average power is 50W. On the other hand, brands likeAppleandSamsunghave focused more on prioritizing battery safety and overall performance over pushing for higher-power chargers.
A few years ago, it was common for smartphones to require hours to charge. But now it has become thenorm for recharging to be accomplished in an hour or less, with the fastest achieving a full charge from empty in a few minutes. However, the race to provide faster charging has reached a point of diminishing returns and we expect a shift in emphasis toward other areas of technology in the smartphone in coming years.

Looking at individual brands, Samsung, TECNO andApplewere the biggest winners.Samsung’s rebound can be attributed to the lower-pricedGalaxyA series’ strong sales, while new 5G and premium-end models also did well.TECNO, and sister brandInfinixto some extent, performed very well due to better economic conditions, particularly for lower income groups, and aggressive market entries in the Middle East. TECNO andInfinix’ssuccesses, however, can be partly attributed to the cannibalization ofitel’s market share. Lastly,Applehad an outstanding quarter to round off a very strong iPhone 14 series cycle. TheOEMmanaged to increase penetration in key Middle East markets with the higher-priced Pro and Pro Max models getting good reception.
