The global smartphone market is expected to reach USD809.95 billion by 2027F, with a CAGR of 8.33% during the forecast period. The global smartphone market is mainly driven by three factorsthe population in urban areas, the increasing replacement market, and increasing technological advancements. The smartphone is one of those electronic gadgets that everyone around the globe needs, and after the pandemic, the need for smartphones has increased rapidly.
The global
During COVID-19, the sales of smartphones decreased as many countries were on lockdown, and the global supply chain was not functioning. During this time, many companies stated that they faced a decrease in the volume of smartphones sold as there was low demand during the first two quarters of 2020, but in the second half of the year, the smartphone industry started rising at a prolonged rate.
Increasing Online Sales Drives the Market Growth
