HOW MANY SMARTPHONES WERE SOLD IN 2020?-The Pangora Blog
HOW MANY SMARTPHONES WERE SOLD IN 2020?
1.3 Billion. That’s the number of phones sold in 2021 according to Gartner, a world-leading research company.
Meet the top 5 smartphone sellers
Samsung remained at top of the smartphone market with 253 million sales in 2020 despite experiencing a year-on-year decline of 14.6%.
Apple came in second selling 199 million smartphones. Sales surged by 15% in the last 3 months of the year after the launch of the 5G iPhone 12 series.
Huawei recorded the highest decline - a 24.1% decline - among the top five smartphone vendors with 182.6 million sales. Huawei’s decline was mainly due to the ban on the use of Google applications on Huawei’s smartphones by the Trump administration.
Xiaomi’s market share surpassed 10% after a significant growth of 15.7% during the year – the largest growth of the top 5. The maker sold a total of 145.8 million smartphones.
Oppo sold 111.7 million smartphones to gain a market share of 8.3%.
Apple and Xiaomi were the only two smartphone vendors in the top-five ranking to experience growth in 2020
Big picture: 2020 wasn’t a good year for smartphone manufacturers. The problems started in Q1 when sales dropped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, it’s expected that more smartphones will be sold, due to the availability of lower end 5G smartphones and innovative features in non-5G smartphones.
