Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G

According to a new report from International Data Corporation, Samsung has shipped the most smartphones worldwide in 2021 with 272 million units sold.

The South Korean maker snatched the top spot in the global smartphone market last year with a 20.1 percent market share, beating Apple, which had a 17.4 percent market share, after selling 235.7 million phones during the year had delivered. Xiaomi was third with 191 million shipments, followed by Oppo with 133.5 million and Vivo with 128.3 million.

A total of 1.35 billion smartphones were shipped worldwide in 2021, representing a growth of 5.7 percent over the previous year. The IDC report highlights both good and bad news about global smartphone shipping. Despite a positive compound annual growth rate in 2021, fewer phones were shipped in the fourth quarter of last year than in the same period last year due to component shortages. According to IDC, manufacturers shipped a total of 362.4 million smartphones during this period, down 3.2 percent year-on-year.

"As we mentioned last quarter, supply chain and component shortages began to have a significant impact on the smartphone market early in the second half of the year, and this continues to be the case as we now enter 2022"

Ryan Reith, group vice president at IDC's Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers

IDC noted that the decline in smartphone shipments in the fourth quarter marked "the second consecutive quarter of negative growth." The market research firm reported last year that the global smartphone market fell 6.7 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2021.
