However, this growth does not yet reflect the full impact of rising supply-side costs, as vendor inventory frontloading in the channel temporarily supported shipments. Memory and storage costs are increasing sharply, while vendors have not fully implemented retail price increases across all markets. Mobile DRAM and NAND prices rose by around 90% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 and are expected to increase a further 30% in Q2, significantly increasing bill-of-materials. At the same time, early signs of logistics and trade flow disruption are adding friction to global supply chains.<\/p>\n<p id=\"news-body-cta\">This press release features multimedia.

Apple also delivered a strong quarter, supported by stable pricing and steady demand for the iPhone 17 series, despite some regional supply disruptions. Beyond the top two, most Android vendors are facing challenges on both volumes and margins, responding with tighter portfolios, selective launches and more disciplined pricing. However, within the \u201cOthers\u201d category, Huawei\u2019s strong domestic performance, supported by competitive pricing, and HONOR\u2019s continued overseas expansion drove share gains.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cVendors have little choice but to raise prices as cost pressures intensify\u201d, said <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fomdia.tech.informa.com%2Fauthors%2Fsanyam-chaurasia&amp;esheet=54492342&amp;newsitemid=20260410364909&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Sanyam+Chaurasia%2C+Principal+Analyst+at+Omdia&amp;index=1&amp;md5=12cbe075e202ffc269c5894e84ef5490\">Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Omdia<\/a>. \u201cWhile price increases are happening across the industry, the impact is not uniform. Vendors with greater exposure to entry and mid-tier segments, such as Xiaomi and TRANSSION, are more exposed due to thinner margins and limited pricing power. In contrast, Apple has largely held pricing, while Samsung is taking a more market-selective approach. Beyond headline price increases, vendors are also managing margins through configuration changes, reduced promotions and tighter channel pricing. This is creating a more complex pricing environment, with financing and trade-ins playing a bigger role in supporting demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe worst is still ahead as cost-driven headwinds weigh on the smartphone value chain,\u201d commented <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fomdia.tech.informa.com%2Fauthors%2Frunar-bjorhovde&amp;esheet=54492342&amp;newsitemid=20260410364909&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Runar+Bjorhovde%2C+Principal+Analyst+at+Omdia&amp;index=2&amp;md5=d36cc23f221bdf1e3f1bfb074bd52721\">Runar Bjorhovde, Principal Analyst at Omdia<\/a>. \u201cIn the near term, higher pricing is creating a demand shock, with consumers delaying purchases, before gradually adapting as pricing stabilises. At the same time, uncertainty around pricing and availability is prompting some channel partners to increase inventory, temporarily supporting shipments. However, this will delay rather than offset the impact for vendors, with pressure expected to intensify as the year progresses. Vendors will need to focus on margin protection, tighter portfolios and higher-value opportunities while strengthening brand and channel execution. Omdia expects the global smartphone market to be increasingly skewed to the downside in 2026, with shipments likely to decline by around 15% amid escalating costs and macro volatility.<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl bwwidth100\">\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" class=\"bwtopsingle bwleftsingle bwrightsingle bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Worldwide smartphone market share split<br \/>\n<br \/>Omdia Preliminary Smartphone Market Pulse: 1Q26<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwleftsingle bwwidth33 bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Vendor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwwidth33 bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\"><b>1Q26<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\"><b>market share<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwvertalignt bwrightsingle bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\"><b>1Q25<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\"><b>market share<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwleftsingle bwwidth33 bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Samsung<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth33 bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n22%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwrightsingle bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n20%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwleftsingle bwwidth33 bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Apple<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth33 bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n20%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwrightsingle bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n19%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwleftsingle bwwidth33 bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Xiaomi<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth33 bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n11%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwrightsingle bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n14%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwleftsingle bwwidth33 bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>OPPO<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth33 bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n10%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwrightsingle bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n11%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwleftsingle bwwidth33 bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>vivo<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth33 bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n7%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwrightsingle bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n8%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwleftsingle bwwidth33 bwpadl2\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\"><b>Others<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth33 bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n29%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwrightsingle bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n28%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwleftsingle bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignr bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" class=\"bwpadl0 bwrightsingle\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" class=\"bwsinglebottom bwleftsingle bwrightsingle bwpadl1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nNote: Preliminary estimates are subject to change on final release<br \/>\n<br \/>Xiaomi includes Redmi and POCO, vivo includes iQOO, OPPO includes realme and OnePlus<br \/>\n<br \/>Source: Omdia Smartphone Horizon Service (sell-in shipments), April 2026<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>ABOUT OMDIA<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fomdia.tech.informa.com%2F&amp;esheet=54492342&amp;newsitemid=20260410364909&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Omdia&amp;index=3&amp;md5=697e4b8c7eff4778999586bdcacece66\">Omdia<\/a>, part of TechTarget, Inc. d\/b\/a Informa TechTarget (Nasdaq: TTGT), is a technology research and advisory group.
