Tibco News, according to data agency IDC report shows that global smartphone shipments fell 8.7% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2022, with shipments dropping to 286 million units in the quarter, down 3.5% from expectations. This time is the global smartphone shipments fell for four consecutive seasons.

Similarly, Canalys released a report on Aug. 1 saying that global smartphone shipments in the second quarter of 2022 were the lowest quarterly point since the second quarter of 2020.

Nabila Popal, IDC's global research director, said original equipment Hersteller have cut orders for the rest of the year, with the biggest cuts coming from their Chinese Lieferanten. Demand is expected to start picking up in some regions by the end of the year, but smartphone market shipment expectations are bound to be revised downward in 2022. IDC believes that the current decline in various figures is not a disappearance of demand, but is being brought forward.

From a regional perspective, the most obvious part of the decrease in Q2 2022 is Central and Eastern Europe. Due to the ongoing impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, shipments to Ukraine fell 36.5% year-over-year in the second quarter. In terms of volume, the decline in global smartphone shipments came primarily from China, where shipments fell 14.3% year-over-year in Q2.

Despite the downward revision in industry sentiment, the ranking of Lieferanten did not change much in 2Q2022. Samsung held the No. 1 position with a 21.8% Marktanteil, Apple came in second with 15.6%, while Xiaomi came in third with 13.8% and closed the gap.
