Apple was the only leading vendor to increase market share in the last year, says a new Canalys report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Global smartphone shipments fell by 13% in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the same period last year, according to a report published Thursday by research firm Canalys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decline comes amid a convergence of economic conditions, including softening consumer demand, high inflation, and sluggish economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The smartphone market’s decline in the first quarter of 2023 was within expectations throughout the industry,” said Canalys Analyst Sanyam Chaurasia. The quarter saw 269.8 million units shipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite a slowing smartphone market, Apple bucked the trend as the only top five vendor to increase its market share annually, to 21% from 18%. Rival Samsung’s market share dropped from 24% to 22%, indicating that Apple has closed in on its South Korean rival, boosted by robust demand for its iPhone 14 Pro series, announced last September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the latest January to March quarter, however, Samsung reclaimed the top spot from Apple, shipping 60.3 million units driven by a fresh lineup of products following the launch of its popular Galaxy 23 series in February. iPhone market share fell from 25% to 21%, while Samsung’s share of the pie grew from 20% to 22%. Chinese tech giant Xiaomi maintained its third place position with 30.5 million shipments, and Chinese phone makers Oppo and Vivo rounded out fourth and fifth place on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quarterly drop-off for Apple doesn’t come as a surprise, though. The fourth quarter encompasses the launch of new iPhones, generating a huge bump up in sales that subsequently tapers off in the following January-March quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
