According to a report by the International Data Corporation (IDC), global smartphone shipments in Q3 2022 reached 301.9 million units, a 9.7% decrease year-on-year (YoY).

Only Apple recorded positive growth during this period. Apple's iPhone shipments increased by 1.6% YoY, from 51.1 million units to 51.9 million units in Q3 2022.

Meanwhile, Samsung smartphone shipments contracted by 7.8% YoY, falling from 69.5 million units to 64 million units. Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo smartphone shipments contracted by 8.6%, 8.8%, and 22.1% YoY respectively, while shipments from other brands contracted by 8.8% YoY in Q3 2022.

Nabila Popal, Research Director of IDC's Worldwide Tracker team, stated that this global decline in smartphone shipments is due to weakening global demand and economic uncertainty.

"Most of the decline comes from emerging markets, where weak demand, rising costs, and inflation are impacting low-income consumers," said Nabila in a press release on Thursday, October 27, 2022.

"While Apple is the only vendor to deliver positive growth this quarter, it still faces challenges as its growth is hampered in many markets, including China, due to the poor macroeconomic situation," she continued.

Nabila predicts that the global smartphone market will begin to recover next year. "We expect a sharper decline in shipments for 2022 and a slower recovery in 2023," she said.
