Although overall global smartphone shipments declined in Q2 2023, global foldable shipments rose.
2023年H2,竞争在全球可折叠的职业duct market is set to escalate significantly, driven by the earnest entry of Chinese companies like OPPO and HONOR.
The global foldable market is expected to experience substantial growth in 2024, driven by the introduction of entry-level foldable products.
The global foldable smartphone market increased 10% YoY in Q2 2023 to reach 2.1 million units, according to Counterpoint Research’s most recentglobal foldable smartphone tracker.This growth is in stark contrast to that of the global smartphone market, which showed a 9% decline in shipments during the quarter to reach 268 million units. Due to the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war and the ongoing high global inflation, the smartphone market is expected to grow sideways. Nevertheless, the foldable smartphone sector continues to exhibit robust and sustained growth.
Global and ChinaFoldable Smartphone Shipments, Q1 2022-Q2 2023
可折叠的智能手机景观在中国arket presents a particularly intriguing scenario. During Q2 2023, shipments in the overall Chinese smartphone market slipped 4% YoY to reach 61.9 million units, hurt by the recent economic challenges faced by the country, which led to a reduction in consumer spending. However, the Chinese foldable smartphone market achieved notable success, surging 64% YoY to reach 1.2 million units. China now commands the largest share of the global foldable smartphone market, with a 58.6% share.
FoldableProduct Launch Status in 2023: Comparison of Global and Chinese Foldable Markets
The rapid growth of the Chinese foldable market is primarily attributed to the introduction of foldable products tailored for the Chinese market, coupled with a strong demand for these products among Chinese consumers. In Q2 2023, significant momentum is building for the continued growth of the foldable market. This surge was driven by the introduction of key products such as the Huawei Mate X3, vivo X Fold 2, and vivo X Flip, primarily targeting the Chinese foldable market. Additionally, the global (including China) launch of the Motorola Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra, further contributed to this growth trend. In Q2 2023, China saw the launch of five new foldable products tailored for its market, while the global market outside China only saw two foldable product launches during the same period.
Counterpoint Research Senior Analyst Jene Parksaid, “We believe that these frequent product launches (along with the marketing effects that accompany product launches) are changing Chinese consumers’ perception of foldable products. Consequently, Chinese consumers can access a variety of foldable products more easily and frequently than any other market in the world. The continuous release of various foldable products is recognized as one of the important reasons why the Chinese foldable market has continued to grow significantly compared to other markets.”
Global Foldable Smartphone Forecast,2023-2024
The global foldable smartphone market will undergo significant changes in H2 2023. Chinese manufacturers are expanding their presence internationally during this period, with notable releases including the HONOR Magic V2, OPPO Find N3 Flip, and the yet-to-be-named OnePlus foldable device. Notably, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, considered to be some of the top-tier foldable offerings, were launched in August and are expected to capture a substantial market share in H2 2023.
Parkadded, “The global foldable smartphone market is set to see significant growth in the H2 2023, driven by the expansion of Chinese manufacturers. Although Samsung’s market share may dip due to increased competition, we believe that it will be a natural result. However, competition among manufacturers usually has the effect of increasing the size of the market for the product. We believe that the era of the mass foldable phone is expected to start in 2024, mainly led by Samsung and Huawei with their entry-level foldables. Entry-level foldables are expected to be priced around $600 to $700, making them more accessible to consumers.”
Apple’s iPhone 11 was the third best-selling model in Mexico in Q2 2023.
60% of the models in the top 10 list were priced below $150.
Samsung’s Galaxy A34, Galaxy A54 5G were the only two 5G models on the top 10 list.
Mexicois the second most important smartphone market in Latin America. The country has the second-highest population in the region and hosts an extremely competitive ecosystem. Mexico’s geographical size and lack of import barriers make it an extremely attractivesmartphonemarket.
The top-selling models accounted for 35% of Mexico’s total smartphonemarketin Q2 2023. The top 10 list almost appears like Samsung’s performance for the quarter as the brand dominated the top-selling chart in Mexico in Q2 2023. Five of the 10 best-selling models were fromSamsung. According to Counterpoint’s Market Pulse Report, Samsung’s share in Q2 2023 was slightly more than 30%.
OPPO and Motorola both had two models in the Q2 2023 top-selling list. Motorola, which has always been a strong player in theMexicanmarket, launched a few new models during the quarter that helped the brand increase its market share. OPPO, a relatively new entrant in theLATAMmarket, managed to retain its third position in market share with two of its models in the top-selling list.
60% of the models in the top 10 list were priced below $150. This price band accounts for 52% of the overallsmartphonemarket in Mexico. However, premiumization is infiltrating the Mexican market, and the number of models in the >$150 band is increasing in the top-selling list. This trend is accelerating slowly but will surely lead to a higher overall smartphone ASP.
Apple’s four-year-oldiPhone11 has been part of the Mexican bestseller list for a few quarters now. It was the third best-selling model in the Mexican market in Q2 2023. The iPhone 11, which is a 4G model, was the most expensive model on the list. The massive sales of this model reflect the strength of Apple’s branding.
The 4G version of OPPO’s Reno 7 was another model in the bestsellers list priced more than $150. This is quite an achievement for the brand, which arrived in the region just three years ago.OPPOis still building its branding in the Mexican market. The Reno 7 has been in the Mexican top-selling chart since December 2022.
值得注意的是只有两个模型图are 5G phones – the Samsung Galaxy A34 and the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. The latter one is also the most expensive Samsung model in the top-selling list. Meanwhile, Telcel has been pushing its subscriber base to replace their phone with a 5G one. Mexican consumers are still not ready for5Gtechnology. They would rather get more specs than access the technology.
MEA smartphone shipments increased 1% YoY and 7% QoQ in Q2 2023.
Consumer sentiment picked up during the quarter with falling inflation rates and stabilizing local currencies. These boosted demand for ‘big ticket’ items like smartphones.
Samsung saw a rebound in its shipments and market share during the quarter.
Transsion Group’s shipments grew 2% YoY, or an impressive 14% QoQ, in a typically weak quarter.
Apple continued its steep rise, with shipments up 75% YoY in Q2.
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.There 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,Xiaomiretreated 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.”

Europe smartphone shipments fell 12% YoY in Q2 2023 to reach lowest since 2012.
Russia only major market to register growth at 4% YoY.
OPPO’s shipments fell 51% YoY hurt by patent issues and difficult market conditions.
2023 smartphone shipments are set to be lower than in 2022.
London, Boston, Toronto, New Delhi, Jakarta, Beijing, Taipei, Seoul – September 1, 2023
European smartphone shipments declined 12% YoY in Q2 2023, marking the lowest quarterly shipment volume since Q1 2012, according to the latest report from Counterpoint Research’s Market Monitor Service.
Western Europe declined by 14% YoY during the quarter while Eastern Europe limited its fall to 8% YoY, despite being in an already battered state. All major European nations performed weakly in Q2 2023, except Russia, which conversely registered 4% YoY growth. However, this was primarily due to lower shipments in Q2 2022 – the first full quarter after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions and market exits of prominent smartphone players.
OPPO had a difficult time in Q2 2023 with patent disputes and uncertainty in several countries, due to which the brand’s shipments dropped 51% YoY. The uncertainty is likely to persist which will result in further shipment declines in the coming quarters.
realme grew 12% YoY, driven primarily by Russia, which accounted for 55% of the brand’s shipments in the region. In Russia, realme benefitted from Samsung and Apple’s market exit, which allowed the company to fill the void left by these heavyweights. Additionally, realme has remained in the second position in Russia for five straight quarters and has been closing the gap with the market leader Xiaomi.
HONOR registered 9% YoY growth during the quarter due to the base effect and its ongoing expansion outside China.
Commenting on the current market dynamics,Research AnalystHarshit Rastogisaid, “Despite falling shipment volumes, the higher price bands (wholesale prices exceeding $600) have been capturing a larger share of the market each year. They also have a longer replacement cycle compared to mid-segment and lower-price band smartphones, which further dampens demand. Consequently, OEMs are likely to focus on increasing their ASP and concentrate on services to drive revenue growth in the coming quarters.”
Commenting on market outlook,Associate Director JanStryjakcommented, “The market is unlikely to make a full recovery `this year and 2023 smartphone shipments are set to be lower than in 2022, marking consecutive decade-low shipments in both 2022 and 2023. While the economic conditions are partly to blame, consumer buying behaviour is also changing, suggesting that a lower level of sales will set a new baseline. However, despite the low shipment volumes, upcoming iterations of Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s foldables are likely to fare well, prompting a bump in sales volumes in the coming quarters.”

Marking a gradual recovery in Q2 2023, China’s smartwatch shipments increased 5% YoY, according to Counterpoint Research’s latestGlobal Smartwatch Model Tracker.
Senior Analyst Shenghao Baisaid, “The YoY rise in Q2 came on a low base of the same period last year. At the same time, the holiday travel in Q2 and the 618 e-commerce festival also boosted consumer demand for smartwatches. The market has recovered slightly better than we had predicted.”

Market summary
Huaweirecorded a 58% YoY growth, maintaining its good reputation among consumers. The newly launched Huawei Watch 4 and Huawei Watch 4 Pro series models were popular with consumers, while old models such as the Huawei Watch GT 3 series still sold well. Another newly launched model, the Huawei Watch Ultimate, contributed to the brand’s performance in the ultra-premium segment.
imoo(BBK) benefited from the demand in the first full back-to-school quarter after the pandemic lockdown was lifted in China. Its multiple offline retail stores also contributed to the brand’s growth.
Applerecorded a 15% YoY decrease in Q2 2023. Although the Apple Watch Series 8 was the best-selling model family in China during the quarter, its shipments decreased 25% compared to that of its predecessor Apple Watch Series 7 in Q2 2022. With new product launches expected in Q3 2023, Apple is likely to increase its market share in the quarter.
Xiaomirecorded a decrease of 15% YoY but an increase of 7% QoQ. The brand still took the biggest share in the ≤$50 segment. Waning consumer interest in entry-level products contributed to the decline in Xiaomi’s market share.
OPPOachieved a 28% YoY increase in Q2 2023. Promotions during the 618 e-commerce festival helped the OPPO Watch 3 and OPPO Watch 3 Pro’s sales.

Note: The price refers to the wholesale price
In terms of wholesale price bands, the ≤$50 band’s share significantly dropped compared to the same period last year. This price band’s share has been recording YoY drops in the past several quarters. On the other hand, the ≥$500 segment’s share rose significantly to 11% from almost negligible in Q2 2022.
Research Analyst Alicia Gongsaid, “The entry-level products with simple features are not as popular with consumers as they once were. A growing number of consumers are gravitating toward smarter devices with more health monitoring, sports tracking and guidance functions. Since the Apple Watch Ultra’s release last year, the share of premium segments has been growing. The promotions during the 618 e-commerce festival also contributed to these segments’ growth.”

Smartphoneshipments in Latin America (LATAM) dropped 15.6% YoY but climbed 2.4% QoQ in Q2 2023, according to the latest data fromCounterpoint Research’s Market Monitorservice. The decline was due to the negative impacts of the regional economic crises and weak global smartphone shipments.
Commenting on the market dynamics,Principal Analyst Tina Lusaid, “LATAM’s economic growth in 2023 is actually slightly higher than forecast. However, this recovery has not yet inspired an increase in the rate of smartphone replacement. Lowconsumerdemand continued to affect the region during the quarter. Although most countries in the region are seeing declininginflation, consumer confidence is yet to bounce back, as political turmoil continues to constrain the general economy.”
Research Analyst Andres Silva added,“Seasonal factors such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day promotions helped the market grow slightly QoQ in Q2 2023, although the market declined YoY. The entry of manyChinesebrands at once is stirring up the market as they aim for growth, pushing other brands to become more aggressive. However, the YoY decline affected all the top sixcountriesin the region.”

Commenting on the ASP performance in the region,Lu added: “There is a slight premiumization trend going on in the region. Compared to last year, LATAM’s total smartphoneASPonly grew around 4%. This has been a consistent trend. Inflation has some influence on it. However, established brands such as Samsung are pushing to increase the ASP in the region with5Gmodels.”
Market Summary
Samsungwas once again the absolute leader in the LATAM market in Q2 2023. However, itsshipmentsand market share declined YoY with weakened performance in most of the countries in the region.
Samsung has been very aggressive in offering extra discounts during the promotions. But not enough as its shipments were hurt by the Brazilian market and the entry ofChinesebrands.
Since Samsung is focusing more on premium models now, the availability of its models in the lower price bands is becoming restricted. Thus, its overall value dropped -2% YoY.
摩托罗拉的出货量同比下降,但其市场share increased slightly. It increased the number of models in the entry-segment E series. It also increased its brand awareness with the launch of theMotorolaEdge 40 Pro in May with an aggressive advertising campaign.
Xiaomi lost share slightly during the quarter but remained stable due to the launch of the Redmi Note 12 during the first week of April. This increased its Q2 2023 shipments and sales.Xiaomialso increased its Poco brand shipments in the open channels in the region.
Xiaomi recovered slightly from its position in Mexico. The participation of the grey market in the southern part of the LATAM region continued to grow.
Apple’sshipments and market share both grew YoY in Q2 2023, mainly sustained by the iPhone 11. The4Gsmartphones are still driving Apple’s volume in the region.
OPPOcontinued to be a strong fifth player in the region and ranked third in Mexico. Its volume increased by more than 70% in Q2 2023, while its share more than doubled YoY. Despite the growth, its shipments dropped QoQ.
HONOR did not make it to the list, but its growth in LATAM has been notable.HONORwas the brand with the most aggressive growth during the quarter. However, it still needs to build on its branding.
“Others”, mainly composed of regional brands, continued to decrease YoY. This category was most affected by the entry of low-price-band Chinese brands.

Why is the smartphone market declining in Q1 2022?
The 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.
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.

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.

Q1 2019 Highlights
As the largest smartphone market in the world, the start of 2019 continues the sluggishness from H2 2018.
The sustained decline can be attributed to the overall economic downturn in China which has resulted in consumers’ prolonged replacement cycles for smartphones.
Consumer demand continues to remain divided. While some are delaying smartphone upgrades others are buying other electronic products to satisfy their desire for freshness.
In addition, other factors affecting sales in Q1 2019 includes the lack of new product launches.
