Phone



The global mobile phone market's shipment volume in 2022 was 1.21 billion units, a year-on-year decrease of 11.3%, and the shipment volume reached a 10-year low.

According to IDC data, the market share ranks in the top five, with Samsung shipping 260 million units (21.6%), Apple 226 million units (18.8%), Xiaomi 153 million units (12.7%), OPPO 103 million units (8.6%), and vivo 99 million units (8.2%).

Summary:

Multiple factors lead to issues such as insufficient consumer confidence. Faced with a sluggish market, major manufacturers have chosen a stable and conservative operating strategy. While continuing to focus on the high-end market and creating flagship products, mid range and mainstream products will do their best to clear inventory through promotions and discounts, and then use low-end models to ensure overall shipment volume.

forecast:

In 2023, the smartphone market will experience flat or slight growth, and it is expected to improve in Q2, but the situation is still relatively severe. Although inflationary pressures will gradually be alleviated, the impact of multiple factors such as interest rate hikes, slowing economic growth, and increasingly difficult labor markets will constrain the market's development potential and may delay a complete recovery until the end of the year. The global mobile phone shipment volume is expected to be 1.327 billion units in 2023, with a growth rate of 5.2%.

PC



The overall shipment volume of PCs in 2022 was 292.3 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 16.5%, marking the largest decline since 1990.
According to IDC data, Lenovo holds 23.3% of the market share, ranking first, followed by HP and Dell with 18.9% and 17% respectively, ranking second and third, while Apple and Asus rank fourth and fifth with 9.8% and 7% respectively.
Summary:
Due to the record high PC shipment volume in the same period of 2021, this year's decline is particularly significant. Although the shipment volume in 2022 is not low, the market is saturated and demand is decreasing, and it is irreversible for PC demand to continue to be suppressed.
Due to excess inventory in channels in the past few months, discounts have been triggered to stimulate demand, and the average selling price has also decreased. Supply side activities show that many large manufacturers are entering 2023 with a cautious attitude
forecast:
In the first half of 2023, demand is relatively weak and will gradually recover by the end of the year, returning to the growth cycle. With the transformation of epidemic control methods and the gradual resumption of social interaction by the end of 2022, it is expected that the commercial market will experience restorative growth in the second half of 2023.
