Who is the King of China's Smartphone Market in Q3? A Comparison of Reports from Three Data Companies!

On October 28, Counterpoint released its report on China's smartphone market in the third quarter. With this, the data reports from the three major data companies, IDC, Canalys and Counterpoint, on the quarter are all out. While they all gave positive assessments of the market performance, there are some differences in terms of specific rankings and growth trends, which has sparked some thinking about the market landscape.

Let's take a look at the specific rankings of the three data companies:

1. IDC

• Top 5: vivo, Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi, Honor

• Year-on-year growth: vivo, Huawei, and Xiaomi grew, while Apple and Honor declined.

• Other: OPPO dropped out of the top 5.

2. Canalys

• Top 5: vivo, Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, Apple

• Year-on-year growth: vivo, Huawei, and Xiaomi grew, while Apple and Honor declined.

• Other: OPPO dropped out of the top 5.

3. Counterpoint

• Top 5: vivo, Huawei, Xiaomi, Honor, OPPO

• Year-on-year growth: vivo, Huawei, and Xiaomi grew, while Honor, OPPO, and Apple declined.

• Other: Apple dropped to sixth place.

By comparing these three reports, we have found some interesting features:

1. vivo Secures the First Place

No matter which data company is consulted, vivo has undoubtedly taken the top spot, with a significant lead. This suggests that vivo has performed extremely well in China's smartphone market over the past quarter and has undoubtedly become the market leader.

2. Huawei Holds Steady at Second, Strong Growth

Huawei ranked second in two data companies, while it ranked third in the other. Overall, Huawei has achieved significant growth this quarter, and it is likely to be the fastest-growing brand, with its ranking likely to be in second place.

3. Xiaomi and Honor are Neck and Neck

Xiaomi ranked third in one data company, fourth in the other two. Honor ranked third, fourth, and fifth, respectively. While the two companies' rankings differ, their market share difference is almost negligible. It is noteworthy that all three data companies agree that Xiaomi has grown year-on-year, while Honor has declined.

4. Apple and OPPO are More Controversial

OPPO dropped out of the top five in two data companies, and only ranked fifth in one report. The change in Apple is even more obvious, it ranked second in one data company, fifth in another, and dropped out of the top five in the remaining one.

Overall, the data from the three data companies all shows that China's smartphone market achieved year-on-year growth in the third quarter and has maintained a growth trend for four consecutive quarters, but the growth rates they gave are different.

It is worth noting that all three reports show that vivo, Huawei, and Xiaomi have achieved year-on-year growth, while other brands have experienced year-on-year declines. This phenomenon shows that vivo, Huawei, and Xiaomi have played a crucial role in driving the growth of China's smartphone market, while the performance of other brands has been below average.

So what are the reasons for these differences?

• Differences in data collection methods: Different data companies have different data collection methods, including data sources, statistical scope, and so on.

• Differences in sample size: Different data companies may have different sample sizes, which can also lead to different data results.

• Differences in data analysis methods: Different data companies may use different data analysis methods, which can also affect the final presentation of data results.

Despite the differences, the data reports from the three major data companies still provide us with valuable insights into the trends in China's smartphone market.

In conclusion, China's smartphone market remains vibrant in the third quarter and shows strong growth potential. Despite some differences, the strong performance of vivo, Huawei, and Xiaomi is undoubtedly the main theme of the market. In the future, we will continue to follow the development of China's smartphone market and look forward to seeing more exciting competition and innovation.
