Global Smartphone Production Sees Slight Rebound in 3Q24 but Faces a 5% YoY Decline, Says TrendForce

TrendForce reports that global smartphone production experienced a 3% quarterly dip, totaling 286 million units in 2Q24. The drop was largely attributed to the conclusion of new model releases for several brands and inventory adjustments as the second quarter wrapped up. In light of a sluggish market during what is typically the peak season, many brands are taking a cautious stand while planning production for the third quarter. Consequently, production is anticipated to see a modest QoQ increase to 293 million units. However, this still reflects an approximate 5% YoY decrease, falling below pre-pandemic levels.
