In the second quarter of 2026, global smartphone production reached 275 million units, a 8% decline from previous years, which was better than market expectations. IC Insights raised its annual production forecast to 1.07 billion units, with the year-over-year decline narrowing from 16% to 14%. Samsung ranked first globally with 62 million units produced, a year-on-year increase of about 7%, mainly due to the later release time of new flagship models and the increased proportion of mid-range ODM production; Apple came in second with 52 million units, a year-on-year increase of about 14%, attributed to the pricing strategy of the iPhone 17 series. OPPO, Xiaomi, and vivo produced approximately 30 million units, 29 million units, and 21 million units respectively, ranking third to fifth. These three manufacturers focused on maintaining their basic market share and prioritizing stable profits.
