Recent data from TrendForce has revealed interesting trends in smartphone production for the second quarter of 2025. Despite challenges such as inventory issues, the overall production of smartphones has seen a notable increase compared to previous quarters. This growth is attributed to various factors, including subsidy programs and market strategies employed by different smartphone manufacturers.
Leading the global market, Samsung and Apple experienced a decline in production numbers. Samsung produced 58 million units, reflecting a 5% decrease from the previous quarter, while Apple manufactured 46 million iPhones, representing a 9% decline. On the other hand, companies like Oppo, Transsion (including Tecno, Infinix, itel), and vivo (including iQOO) witnessed significant production growth in the second quarter, showcasing a positive rebound from earlier challenges.
The shift in production numbers highlights the dynamic nature of the smartphone industry and the competitive landscape among leading brands. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends shape the future of smartphone production and consumer preferences.
