Apple<\/strong><\/a> is estimated to lead this expansion with more than 243 million iPhone shipments, securing a 19.4% share. This marks the first time in 14 years that Apple surpasses Samsung in total global shipments.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s strong performance is driven by the iPhone 17 lineup, which exceeded expectations in key markets:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n US market<\/strong>: 12% higher sales vs. iPhone 16 in first four weeks<\/span><\/p>\n China market<\/strong>: 18% higher sales vs. iPhone 16 during the same period<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The company\u2019s refined memory options and updated pricing strategy have further strengthened demand.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Samsung<\/strong><\/a> is expected to secure the second spot globally with an 18.7% market share and a 5% YoY growth. The Galaxy A-Series\u2014now equipped with upgraded specifications and more competitive pricing\u2014will be crucial for Samsung\u2019s performance in India, Southeast Asia, and MEA.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n However, despite the improvement, Samsung is projected to remain behind Apple from 2025 to 2029 due to increased competition from Chinese brands in the budget and mid-range markets.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Chinese manufacturers\u2014including Xiaomi<\/a>, Transsion Holdings<\/a>, Vivo<\/strong><\/a>, and Oppo<\/strong><\/a>\u2014are projected to register minimal growth of just 1.7% YoY. Key issues affecting their performance include:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n LPDDR4 memory shortages<\/span><\/p>\n Rising memory component costs<\/span><\/p>\n Domestic market slowdown<\/span><\/p>\n Heightened competition across price segments<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To sustain growth, these brands may increasingly lean on overseas markets such as India, SEA, MEA, and Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With the resounding success of the iPhone 17 series and a strong global demand outlook, Apple is expected to surpass Samsung in smartphone shipments for the first time in over a decade. While Samsung continues to strengthen its mid-range lineup, the shifting market dynamics, supply-chain challenges, and evolving consumer preferences indicate a transformative period for the global smartphone industry.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Latest Technology News | Updates<\/a> | Latest Electric Vehicle News | Updates<\/a> | Electronics News<\/a> | Mobile News | Updates<\/a> | Software Updates<\/a><\/p>\n \n Facebook<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | WhatsApp Channel<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Telegram<\/a> | Threads<\/a> | LinkedIn<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Stay informed, Stay Connected!<\/p>\n The post Record iPhone 17 Sales Expected to Propel Apple Ahead of Samsung in Worldwide Shipments: Market Report<\/a> appeared first on Before You Take<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Apple is on track to reclaim the top spot in global smartphone shipments in 2025, ending Samsung\u2019s 14-year run as the world\u2019s leading smartphone brand.
