Overview: 

The global smartphone market declined 12% YoY but increased 3% QoQ in Q3 2022 to 301.9 million units. Apple and Samsung’s quarterly growth helped global smartphone shipments rise above 300 million units, a level it failed to reach last quarter due to weak consumer sentiment stemming from political and economic instability. Smartphone shipments in China grew 8% QoQ in Q3 2022. However, they fell 11% YoY in the quarter due to weak demand and the sluggish economic conditions resulting from the widespread lockdowns in the country. While other major OEMs declined YoY in Q3 2022, only Apple registered a YoY growth during the quarter driven by strong demand for the iPhone 14 series. Smartphone shipments in India declined 11% YoY due to weak consumer demand caused by the inflationary macroeconomic environment. However, the country’s shipments grew 24% QoQ in Q3 2022 to reach 45.3 million units. Smartphone shipments in the Latin America (LATAM) region declined 11% YoY and 17% QoQ in Q3 2022 to reach 28.3 million units. Brazil led the market with 9.7 million shipments, despite a 9% YoY decline. Meanwhile, Brazil’s share in the LATAM region grew to 34% in Q3 2022 from 32% in Q2 2022. 5G smartphone shipments grew 18% YoY and 11% QoQ in Q3 2022 to reach 163 million units globally. While Apple continued to lead,  Samsung ranked second with a five-percentage point YoY growth in its market share. NAM’s 5G shipments increased both 17% QoQ and 40% YoY in Q3 2022 to reach 30 million units. The YoY growth was driven by the rise in 5G smartphones from Apple and Samsung.
