One of the highlights of July was the report that Xiaomi is now the second-biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world in terms of market share. The Chinese manufacturer overtook Apple following the release of a report by Canalys Research. Now, another analyst firm, IDC, has also released its report and it confirms Xiaomi ranking albeit with different figures.
ID’s report lists the top five smartphone companies in the world for the second quarter of 2021 and ranks them according to shipment volumes, market share, and year-over-year growth.
Sitting at the top of the list is Samsung with a shipment volume of 59 million units, 4 million more than it shipped in the same quarter in 2020. However, while it has shipped more units, its market share has dropped from 19.5% to 18.8%.
Coming in second place is Xiaomi with 53.1 million units shipped and a 16.9% market share. That is a huge jump from the 28.5 million units shipped Y-O-Y and from its market share of 10.3%. IDC states the company has recorded a growth of 86.6%.
Apple is the third-largest smartphone company with 44.2 million units and a 14.1% market share. The Cupertino-based company saw its shipment and market share rise Y-O-Y from 37.6 million and 13.6% respectively.
OPPO and its sister company Vivo take the fourth and fifth spots with 32.8 and 31.6 million units shipped respectively. The former has a market share of 10.5% and recorded a growth of 33.7%. Vivo’s market share is 10.1% and it recorded a growth of 33.7%.
IDC adds that the stats above represents the current parent company for all brands owned and operated as a subsidiary, so Xiaomi’s stats include shipments made by Redmi and POCO.
