Overview:
In H1 2021, Japan’s smartphone market entered a full-scale transition to the 5G era. This was due to the efforts of the carriers and Japanese government to increase 5G penetration ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. The transition is visible across price bands and is expected to continue throughout 2021.
However, 2nd Half 2021, the situation is expected to be somewhat different. With Japanese consumers having a higher preference for domestic brands, competition between Japanese brands and Samsung is expected to be strong in the low-to-mid-end segment of the 5G smartphone market in H2 2021.
