Industry Beats > Premium Global Smartphone Market Review 2021 Mar 1, 2022 | Author : Varun Mishra CLIENT ONLY Overview: The global smartphone market recovered in 2021 driven by pent-up demand in regions like North America, Latin America and India. However, market growth was lower than expected due to the extended impact of COVID-19, Huawei and LG’s exit, and component shortages. Majority of the markets posted YoY growth except China and Southeast Asia where demand remained weak. The recovery could have been stronger if not for the component shortages that impacted much of H2 2021. Major brands navigated component shortages better than second- and third-tier brands. Due to the staggered launch of the iPhone 12 in 2020, demand for Apple’s first 5G-enabled phone fell into the first quarter of 2021, which helped the brand’s sales in a normally more subdued quarter.
