Counterpoint Research published their new report on the US smartphone market. Apple still dominates the US smartphone market, while Samsung managed to score positive growth during the first quarter of the year.
According to the report, Samsung secured a 31% market share in the US in the first quarter of the year. The company achieved this growth from 27% recorded in the first quarter of last year.
Apple managed to keep its 52% share in the market in the same period. Notably, the company neither declined nor grew year over year, however, keeping the performance constant is considered praiseworthy.
Samsung and Apple are the main smartphone vendors in the United States. Thanks to the Galaxy AI induction, the Galaxy S24 flagships helped the company to bolster its market share in the country.
Motorola came third with 9% of the market share in the first quarter, up from 8% last year. Google is next, however, the chart doesn’t mention its market share. Counterpoint’s Maurice said, “Google declined in market share in Q1.”
Pay attention, the US smartphone shipments declined 8% YoY in Q1 2024, the sixth consecutive quarter showing a YoY decline. Sales of low-end shipments declined as carriers pushed for deeper 5G smartphone penetration.
