Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Apple gained the top spot in China’s smartphone market for the first time ever in 2023, according to a report on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The US-based global tech firm had a record-high market share of 17.3% last year in China — the world’s biggest smartphone market.<\/p>\n

The record feat came despite China’s smartphone shipments totaled 271.3 million units in 2023, which was a decline of 5% compared to 2022.<\/p>\n

The figure was recorded as the lowest volume in a decade due to soft economic recovery and weak consumer sentiment in China, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC).<\/p>\n

“Apple’s climb to the top spot in 2023, especially in light of renewed competition from Huawei and the soft spending sentiment, marks a tremendous success for Apple,” said Arthur Guo, senior research analyst in Client System Research for IDC China. “Apple achieved this thanks to timely price promotions in its third-party channels, which stimulated demand.”<\/p>\n

Chinese tech company Huawei returned to the top five ranking after more than two years, with a market share of 13.9% in the fourth quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n

Apple was followed by Honor with a 17.1% market share, the consumer electronics firm that is majority owned by Shenzhen municipal government.<\/p>\n

Rest of the top five rankings were occupied by Chinese companies in 2023, with OPPO having a 16.7% market share, followed by Vivo and Xiaomi with 16.5% and 13.2%, respectively.<\/p>\n
