Global Smartphone Market Definition

Think of a smartphone as a super-powered cell phone! It's really a blend of a regular phone and a tiny computer, all in one. What makes it different from older "feature phones" is that smartphones boast more powerful hardware and sophisticated operating systems. This lets them run all sorts of apps, browse the internet (often with Smartphone broadband!), and handle multimedia stuff like music, videos, taking pictures, and playing games – on top of the usual phone things like calls and texts. Inside, you'll find a bunch of tiny metals–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit (IC) chips, plus sensors that the software uses (like a magnetometer, proximity sensors, barometer, gyroscope, or accelerometer). And, of course, they support wireless stuff like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or even satellite navigation.

Global Smartphone Market Overview

As people earn more, they're more likely to spend their money on things like media, entertainment, connecting with others, and, of course, Smartphones! This means a bigger potential market for Smartphone apps. You'll find way more people using Smartphone apps in cities than in the countryside, which is why there's such high demand in developed areas (where you have a lot more city folks compared to rural folks). That demand is really driving the market. Expect the global Smartphone application market to grow quite a bit over the next few years, thanks to all the cool advancements happening in electronics, telecommunications, and e-commerce.

Growing internet penetration, increasing LTE adoption, and rising subscriptions in social media are some of the other key factors driving the growth of the global Smartphone application market. However, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, smartphone shipments saw a declining stage as countries are still dealing with the pandemic which is a restraint for the Smartphone market.

An online buying culture is created by giving special discounts on smartphones by E-commerce portals like Amazon. The online sale of smartphones has been further led by the Holiday shopping culture across regions. However, in regions such as India, where the smartphone sales do not seem to slow down, smartphone companies including Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo & Oppo are aggressively expanding their offline stores into the Indian smartphone market. Further, the share could be lost to other categories like fashion and FMCG, home products among others, in regions with high smartphone penetrations.
