Samsung has solidified its dominance in the smartphone market with the recent release of market research indicating that the South Korean company has reached a significant milestone of selling 3 billion smartphones. This achievement not only highlights Samsung’s stature in the industry but also presents a formidable challenge for other brands to surpass.
Samsung Leads Smartphone Sales
Samsung has established itself as a formidable force in the smartphone market, outpacing the combined sales figures of Huawei, Xiaomi, and Vivo. According to IDC data spanning from Q1 2014 to Q1 2024, Samsung exceeded Apple’s sales by 33%, selling 2.93 billion phones compared to Apple’s 2.2 billion during the same period. This significant margin not only solidifies Samsung’s lead over Apple but also underscores its dominance in the industry. Despite the success of other brands, they have yet to achieve results comparable to Samsung’s prowess in smartphone manufacturing.
Samsung Sales Top Apple’s Despite Decline
Despite facing an annual decline in smartphone shipments over a sustained period, Samsung has managed to maintain its position in terms of overall sales. The study highlights Samsung’s peak year in 2015, coinciding with the release of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5, where it sold 320.9 million devices, outpacing Apple’s 231.5 million phones.
Notably, the Galaxy S6 marked a significant milestone for Samsung as it introduced the popular glass sandwich form factor. Conversely, Samsung’s lowest performing year was in 2022, with sales of 258.2 million phones, still surpassing Apple’s 225.3 million smartphones.
Samsung Rebounds with S24 Success
Samsung is currently undergoing a recovery phase, buoyed by the success of its Galaxy S24 series. The company has exciting products slated for release later this year, setting a positive tone for its performance. While it’s early in the second quarter, more insights are expected to emerge in the coming months, and we’ll keep you updated on the progress.
The dynamic between Samsung and Apple, often seen as rivals vying for the top position, reflects a healthy and robust competition in the smartphone market.
