Hello, dear readers of the website uspei.com. According to research data,
MediaTek
In the 3rd quarter of 2020, became the world's largest supplier for smartphones for the first time.
Qualcomm.
which occupies a significant market share.
Statistics show that the share of the MediaTek processor market for smartphones in the 3 quarter 2020 in comparison with the same period last year increased by 5% (from 26% to 31%), and the share of Qualcomm fell from 31% to 29%. As for Samsung, its market share fell from 16% to 12%, and Apple slightly increased its presence from 11% to 12% due to its new M1 processor.
As for the lobe of the Hisilicon market from Huawei, despite the ban on the export of technology introduced by the US government, and the restriction of the production of high-performance processors in 2020 its proportion has not decreased.
The increase in the presence in the MediaTek processor market occurred primarily due to the launch of a series of smartphones with 5G dimensity processors, and this year the company continued to promote this series of processors and was able to present more budget smartphones 5G. Realme V3 uses the Dimensity 720 processor, which makes it the cheapest mobile phone with connecting to the 5G network on the market.
Due to the US government's ban on exporting technologies this year, the high-performance Kirin Hisilicon processor, created using TSMC technical processor, cannot be made from mid-September this year. Even if the ban will be removed and production restored, the market situation for Hisilicon will be very unstable.
The processor market is rapidly developing and these downtime have negatively affected the production facilities of KIRIN processors, and will also affect the future market share. Manufacturers of smartphones, including Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and Realme, activate their efforts to master the original Huawei smartphones development market, which also allows the relative increase in the MEDIATEK processor market share.
As for Samsung, it reduced the original product line and combined it only with the Galaxy A series models to compete with products with low and medium price categories, which also led to a relative decline in the market share of the processor market for their own EXYNOS series.
As for the market of high-performance processors, most premium smartphones manufacturers still use their own processors (for example, Apple M1) or prefer to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and higher processors. Only a few brands use MediaTek Dimensity 1000 series processors. This gives MediaTek more opportunities to develop medium and entry-level models.
Judging by the trend of the dissemination of MediaTek processors in the Latin American market, the markets of the Middle East and Africa, as well as in the Indian market, the company not only achieved significant growth in the Latin American market, but also significantly increased its presence in the Indian market.
