Counterpoint Research has published a report on smartphone sales in the second quarter of 2019 in Central
Who's in the lead?
It seems that US sanctions have come back to haunt Huawei overseas: in Europe, all this has led to a decline in sales of the Chinese manufacturer. But Samsung and Xiaomi benefited from this and managed to increase sales.
So, in first place is Samsung, which has 40%market. Moreover, the lion's share (70%) of sales was taken by A-series smartphones. “Samsung became the main beneficiary of the decline in Huawei (and Honor) volumes, since it could offer a comparable range of smartphones and fill gaps in the portfolio with the help of its latest updates within the A-series,” — say Counterpoint Research analysts.
The most successful was the Samsung Galaxy A50.
In second place is Huawei, whose share is half that – 20%. This is minus 6% compared to the first quarter of this year.
In third place is Xiaomi with a share of 11% (in the first quarter it was 7%), followed by Apple with an unchanged 6% and Nokia (2%).
Overall, the total share of all Chinese manufacturers grew by 11% year on year.
