Ryan Reith, group VP with IDC’s mobility and consumer device trackers, stated the global smartphone market would remain challenged in the first half of 2023, but he expects growth later in the year.
It predicted shipments in 2023 would grow 2.8 per cent, but noted unit numbers would be 70 million lower than previously expected due to macroeconomic challenges.
IDC forecast shipments of iOS smartphones will rise 1.3 per cent in 2023 and Android 3.1 per cent, down from a previous forecast [1] of 6.2 per cent.
