According to Strategy Analytics, global 5G smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2021 increased 6% quarter-on-quarter, reaching a record of 136 million units. Demand for 5G smartphones is increasing, especially in China, the United States and Western Europe, with global shipments of 5G smartphones 269 million units for the full year 2020, but a record 6 for the full year 2021. Strategy Analytics predicts that it will reach 124 million units.

Below is a breakdown of shipments by each smartphone vendor, growth rate (upper table), and market share (lower table). Apple was the number one shipment in the first quarter of 2021.



Looking at the growth rate, Samsung, which released 5G smartphones such as the Galaxy S21 as a flagship model, was the fastest growing 5G smartphone vendor in the first quarter of 2021. Samsung is expanding its share in some markets in South Korea, the United States and Europe, and according to Strategy Analytics, Samsung's 5G smartphone shipments increased 79% quarter-on-quarter to 17 million units.


In addition, Chinese smartphone maker Vivo, which releases iQOO U3 and iQOO U7 , shipped 19 million 5G smartphones, up 62% from the previous quarter. Oppo, also a Chinese smartphone maker, saw a 55% increase in 5G smartphone shipments quarter-on-quarter, and Xiaomi up 41% quarter-on-quarter.

On the other hand, Apple, which announced the 5G compatible iPhone 12 series, kept the number one position in shipments, but it decreased by 23% from the previous quarter to 400,000 units, and the market share was 40% in the previous quarter, 29.8%. I was depressed. However, Strategy Analytics said that Apple's negative growth rate wasn't just a deterioration in sales, but the iPhone 12 series was more than expected in the previous quarter, the fourth quarter of 2020 (October-December). It shows the view that it is a reaction to the big hit.

'Samsung is growing rapidly in the 5G smartphone market, but is far behind in the Chinese market,' said Woody O, director of Strategy Analytics. Samsung has a presence in China, which has the world's largest 5G smartphone market. Very low, which is a big stumbling block for Samsung. Conversely, Chinese vendors such as Vivo and Oppo have little presence in the high market value of the United States, which is a stumbling block to increasing profits and profits. I am analyzing.
