An American research company summarized the prospect that the number of smartphone shipments in the world next year will increase for the first time in four years as models compatible with the next-generation communication standard 5G will spread mainly in China.

The American research company IDC announced on the 26th that the global smartphone shipments next year will increase by 1.5% to 1.4 billion units.

The number of smartphones shipped has remained at a constant level due to the long cycle of consumers buying new products, and it is the first time in four years that it has surpassed the previous year.

The reason for the increase is that IDC is expected to popularize models compatible with the next-generation communication standard 5G, mainly in China. The number of models that support 5G will be 190 million next year, or 14% of the total. I expect to go up.

On the other hand, we have analyzed that the Asia Pacific region such as Japan and Australia, and European countries are not progressing as much as expected.

Since smartphones that support 5G can enjoy movies and games faster and more easily, the smartphone market is expected to play a role as a trigger, and the competition for development of each company is intensifying.
