IDC: Android is expected to grow twice as fast as Apple iOS this year

According to news on April 16, IDC Research Director Nabila Popal recently said in an interview with CNN: "This year, we expect the growth rate of the Android system to be twice that of iOS."

Nabila Popal added that Apple's Q1 smartphone sales this year Mobile phone sales fell by nearly 10%, which was a "sharp decline" for Apple. "As can be seen from the experience of the past four years, Apple may be the most resilient brand, able to overcome supply chain issues and macro challenges better than other brands." For Samsung to regain the world's largest smartphone manufacturer in this quarter crown, Popal said it was "hugely significant" for Samsung to return to the top spot. She believes that Samsung will be well-positioned for further growth this year as the overall smartphone market recovers this year and it makes efforts in the field of artificial intelligence. According to reports, the IDC report predicts that while Apple and Samsung will maintain market share, the recovery of Huawei and other companies such as Xiaomi and OPPO/OnePlus will continue in the Chinese market. According to yesterday’s report, IDC data showed that global smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024 (1Q24) increased by 7.8% year-on-year to 289.4 million units. While the smartphone industry is not completely out of the woods yet and the market still faces macroeconomic challenges, the figure marks the third consecutive quarter of smartphone shipment growth and is a strong indicator that the recovery is well underway.
