Gradual Recovery in Smartphone Sales as Per IDC

As per the IDC report, the rate of global smartphone sales is likely to increase by approximately 3-4 percent in 2025 as compared to the previous year's second quarter. Although this figure is not sizable, it in a way indicates that the smartphone market is turning out to be better than before.

Different Phenomena Are Stated by Specialists as being behind Such Low Growth in The Market


5G Network Expansion: It does well for the augmented demand for new mobile phones because 5G has left a very significant connection open in developed countries.


Updated Built-in Features: camera features have been newly incorporated, and AI features are enticing devices to catch the interest of potential buyers.

Domestic Sales Increased Citywide in China: The Recovery of the economy of China is reflected in increased sales of smartphones within China.

Markets Emerging Create New Opportunities

Gradual growth is also found on the smartphone front in developing regions such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America, where increased internet access among the people is helping improve this market, alongside the affordability of mobile phones.
