Shipments of foreign phones in China, including Apple’s iPhone, rise 10.9% in June
Sales of foreign-made smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone, in China continued to rise in June but at a slower pace compared to previous months. According to government data released Monday, shipments increased by 10.9% year-over-year to 2.87 million units. While this represents growth, it’s a sign that the rapid expansion of foreign phone brands in the Chinese market may be starting to level off.
Reuters:
During the month, overall shipments of phones within China increased by 12.5% to 24.91 million handsets, according to the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT).
June’s increase in foreign-branded phone shipments was slower compared to the previous two months, when they surged by more than 40% each month.
Apple is the biggest foreign phone maker in China’s smartphone market, meaning its performance plays a major role in overall data on foreign-branded phone shipments.
