Smartphone shipments globally remain high, and naturally, there is a higher demand for mobile processors and chipsets. According to Counterpoint’s latest report, global smartphone AP (Application Processor)/SoC (System on a Chip) chipset shipments grew 31 percent year-on-year (YoY) in Q2 2021. In Q2 2021, 5G smartphone shipments grew nearly four times as compared to that. same period a year ago. Notably, MediaTek dominates the smartphone SoC market with the highest share of 43 per cent, driven by a competitive 5G portfolio in the low-mid segment. Taiwan’s fabless semiconductor company also reportedly did not face chip supply constraints in the last quarter. The company’s Dimension 700 and Dimension 800 series are particularly popular among OEMs due to their low cost and support for 5G connectivity.
Following mediatek, US based Qualcomm Gained a market share of 24 percent in Q2 2021, a decline of 28 percent in Q2 2020. Apple stood third with an unchanged market share of 14 per cent YoY, followed by unisock Which is popular among entry-level smartphone makers and Samsung Exynos SoCs took the fifth spot in the market, down 7%. The report said Qualcomm was “more affected by component supply constraints and lower yields” in the last quarter. However, the company dominated the 5G baseband modem shipments with a 55 percent share. Qualcomm has revamped its component sourcing strategy, which should boost its supply and earnings. The company still supplies its high-end 5G modems to brands like Apple.
Speaking more on the growth of 5G smartphone baseband shipments globally, Counterpoint Research Analyst Parv Sharma said, “The 5G baseband market is dominated by Qualcomm with a 55% share. This is driven by the victory of 5G baseband modem chipsets in the Apple iPhone 12 series. achieved.” MediaTek’s global 5G smartphone baseband shipment market shipments grew from 11 per cent (Q2 2020) to 30 per cent (Q1 2020), followed by Samsung with 10 per cent share.
Affected by the US trade embargo, Huawei HiSilicon was unable to manufacture Kirin chipsets. The accumulated inventory of Kirin SoCs is on the verge of exhaustion. As a result, Huawei launched its P50 series with the latest Qualcomm SoCs, but limited to 4G capabilities.
