Samsung may remain the top global smartphone player in the near future

In spite of getting more noteworthy rivalry from significant Chinese handset players, for example, OPPO, Vivo and Xiaomi, Samsung is probably going to stay the top unique gear maker (OEM) around the world on a yearly premise soon, another report has said.


Samsung is as of now the undisputed forerunner as far as cell phone shipments, and has been the top smartphone seller consistently beginning around 2012.


"Xiaomi has been creeping nearer to Samsung, in any event, uprooting it as the top cell phone seller internationally towards the finish of Q2 2021. While this is a significant turn of events, it doesn't really show a super durable change in OEM elements," said the report from Counterpoint Research.


In spite of the fact that Samsung has been the top worldwide player every year for the beyond quite a while, it has not forever been the top player in each quarter of these years.


For instance, Samsung lost the best position in five of the 26 quarters between Q1 2015 and Q2 2021.


Ordinarily, Samsung loses the best position to Apple in the final quarter (Q4) because of the deals of the recently dispatched iPhone models.


"In Q2 2020 as well, Huawei, along with Honor, which was incorporated at that point, figured out how to send more cell phones than Samsung. Thus, despite the fact that Xiaomi creeping nearer to Samsung in Q2 2021 is an occasion that should be observed, it isn't phenomenal," clarified Harmeet Singh Walia Harmeet of Counterpoint Research, who centers around camera modules, MEA portable market and the AR/VR area.


All things considered, Xiaomi has been ascending in various topographies and bested shipments in Asia and Europe in Q2 2021. While in Asia it has topped shipments frequently, this was whenever it first was besting shipments in Europe.


"Xiaomi's ascent additionally matches with the decay of Huawei, another significant Chinese OEM. Xiaomi, alongside OPPO and OnePlus, took over huge pieces of Huawei's reasonable market, especially in Europe, while likewise being among the essential OEMs, alongside Samsung, to assume control over Huawei's superior reasonable portion there," Walia contended.


Xiaomi turned into the market chief in a portion of the cost cognizant business sectors inside Europe, like Russia.


While Xiaomi's development has not been incidental, its ascent to the exceptionally top towards the finish of Q2 2021 was additionally a direct result of creation challenges looked by Samsung because of its industrial facility in Vietnam turning out to be briefly non-functional during a Covid-set off lockdown.


"This arrived in a quarter where Samsung has generally seen more fragile shipments (while Samsung's shipment share in all Q1s beginning around 2015 has been above and beyond 20%, its shipment share in all Q2s starting around 2015 has normally been somewhat above or under 20%)," said Walia.


Samsung's solid vertical coordination and accessibility of its models in a wide scope of value groups in each significant area passes on that "while we might see Xiaomi beating Samsung for the best position in a few areas in specific quarters, and Apple beating Samsung for the best position in Q4s, Samsung is probably going to stay the top OEM worldwide on a yearly premise soon", the report noted.
