On October 29, it was reported that IDC, a market research organization, recently released the shipment data of the global smartphone market in the third quarter of 2021.

According to IDC statistics, the total global smartphone shipments in the third quarter were 331.2 million units, a decline of 6.7% over the same period last year, more than twice the original forecast of 2.9%. Analysis shows that this is mainly due to the shortage of upstream supply chain chips and other components. It is expected that the supply shortage of components will continue until next year.

In terms of each manufacturer, Samsung still firmly occupies the first place in the shipment volume. In the third quarter, it shipped 69 million units, down 14.2% year on year, which was significantly affected by the shortage of parts and components; Apple, which regained the second place, shipped 50.4 million units, an increase of 20.8% year on year. In addition to the factors of the hot sales of the iPhone 13 series this year, it may also be related to the resumption of the launch of the new iPhone in September.

Xiaomi shipped 44.3 million units, down 4.6% year on year, the first decline after four consecutive quarters of double-digit growth; The following two major factories, Vivo and OPPO, were ranked fourth in a row due to their close shipments and a gap of less than 100000 units, with an increase of 5.8% and 8.6% respectively.
