TrendForce reports that the introduction of new US tariffs, particularly the 20% "fentanyl tariff" on China-made goods, has significantly disrupted the smartphone industry, pushing brands to accelerate supply chain diversification away from China. Apple, which holds a dominant market share in the US and still sources a large portion of its US-bound phones from China, is expected to face the greatest challenges, despite its ongoing efforts to expand production in India.
In contrast, Samsung is better positioned during the 90-day grace period, benefiting from its pre-existing diversified production network in Vietnam and India. However, Lenovo (Motorola), with its heavy reliance on China, faces potential supply bottlenecks and heightened vulnerabilities.
While China remains the core global production hub—accounting for the majority of smartphone manufacturing—the shift toward diversification has become unavoidable. Nevertheless, this transition is not without its challenges, as it introduces higher costs and increased management complexity to global supply chains.
