It is reported that Samsung plans to produce 67 million 'JDM-type' mobile phones in mainland China this year, accounting for 25% of global manufacturing volume

According to news on May 26, according to Korean media Elec, Samsung is currently increasing the production of mobile phones in mainland China, increasing the production of JDM (joint development, design and manufacturing) products from 44 million units to 67 million units, and at the same time increasing the global mobile phone production target from the original plan. The increase from 253 million units to 270 million units also means that 25% of the relevant production targets are manufactured in mainland China.

In addition to increasingly relying on manufacturers in mainland China, Samsung is also cooperating with manufacturers in Southeast Asia. Foreign media revealed that Samsung plans to outsource "28 million mobile phone manufacturing operations" to factories in Vietnam. It is noted that Samsung began to outsource part of its smartphone production in 2019 to reduce manufacturing/shipping prices, but Samsung usually only relies on this production strategy to manufacture mid-to-low-end mobile phones. Referring also to previous reports, the number of smartphones and tablets produced by Samsung in the first quarter of 2024 exceeded its target at the beginning of the year by 22%. As of March, the company had produced a total of 64.5 million smartphones and tablets this year.
