China's smart machine growth this year or just 10%

March 5, according to foreign media reports, in the past two years, the Chinese market smartphone shipments have turned nearly four times times, this rapid growth pattern also makes China become the world's largest smartphone market. However, according to a new forecast by market research firm IDC, the annual growth rate in China's smartphone market is expected to slow, with only about 10% next year.

Kilangit Caul Kiranjeet Kaur, a senior market analyst at IDC, said: "When it comes to smartphones, the Chinese market seems to be saturated." "But according to IDC data, the Chinese market has nearly 1 billion mobile phone users, of which about 40% of the users are currently smartphone users, which means that the Chinese market hundreds of millions of of the current use of traditional features of mobile phone users may soon switch to use the smartphone? In this regard, market analysts believe that such a large scale of users to switch to the smartphone is not easy to happen. Kaul believes that in the Chinese market, users who can afford smartphones have already bought smartphones, and it will take a long time for traditional feature mobile phone users to become smartphone users.

In the Chinese market, even though smartphone prices have fallen sharply and some prices are below $50 trillion, users have to pay a huge fee to telecoms operators every month, a situation that will greatly limit the growth of smartphone users. In addition, as India, Indonesia and the Philippines and other emerging smart phone market development, some of China's big smartphone manufacturers, such as Lenovo, are also trying to expand to these markets, which to some extent, the development of the Chinese smartphone market has adversely affected.

Of course, China will continue to be an important market for smartphone makers, even though China's smartphone growth rate slows in the year. In particular, with the enhancement of 4G services, the Chinese smartphone market will usher in new growth momentum, especially high-end smartphone market.
