While 5G networks are still pretty hard to access in many major smartphone markets around the world, not to mention largely useless due to their modest or outright non-existent speed gains over 4G connectivity available in a lot of places stateside, China’s incredible progress in that field might just be enough to boost the fledgling industry to a fairly remarkable number by the end of the year.
We’re talking 250 million 5G-enabled handsets forecasted to be globally shipped in 2020 by Digitimes Research, of which China alone is expected to account for a whopping 170 million units, representing almost 70 percent of the overall pie. That’s a huge slice for the world’s most populous country, virtually guaranteeing Huawei’s global dominance of this very important market segment after Samsung narrowly took the win for the year’s first three months.
Although the latest Digitimes report doesn’t name any names of companies predicted to benefit from this rapid surge of 5G smartphone shipments, Apple is likely to join Huawei and other “Chinese handset vendors” increasingly focused on the entry-level and mid-tier divisions in winning big. Meanwhile, Samsung could have trouble regaining its lead over the smartphone market as a whole due to the brand’s Chinese irrelevance and the massive anticipated success of the iPhone 12 lineup.
