Samsung's Galaxy S24 has propelled the company's smartphone sales in the US to a four-year high, marking a significant achievement.
Galaxy S24 Drives Samsung's Surge: Smartphone Sales Soar, Earnings Rise, and Market Share Hits Four-Year Peak
Samsung's Galaxy S24 has been a success. Since its launch earlier this year, it has helped Samsung increase revenue and earnings. Samsung has increased smartphone sales in the United States at the expense of Google and TCL, as per Sammobile.
According to Counterpoint Research, Samsung's smartphone market share was 31% in the first quarter of this year, a 14% increase from the company's 27% share in Q1 2023.
That increase appears to have been at the expense of Google's and TCL's shipments. Following 2020, Samsung's market share reached a four-year high. Despite the boost in sales, Samsung remained the second-largest smartphone brand.
Apple was the leading smartphone brand in the United States throughout the quarter. It held a 52% market share, similar to previous year's data. That's astounding because the arrival of the Galaxy S24 had little impact on Apple.
iPhone customers will probably remain loyal to Apple rather than switching to Android. This is fantastic news for Samsung, as more people purchase its high-end smartphones, such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Samsung's Remarkable Growth Amidst Overall Decline: Strong Demand Boosts Shipments, Market Share Reaches Four-Year Peak
Overall, smartphone shipments fell 8% in the first quarter of this year. Following the COVID-19 collapse, smartphone sales improved significantly in Q1 2023. Still, one positive development is that individuals prefer purchasing more expensive smartphones.
“A bright spot in the market was Samsung, which grew shipments YoY with the earlier launch of the S24 series. It was Samsung’s best Q1 in four years as the brand grew its market share to 31%, the highest since Q1 2020. There was strong demand from older Samsung users looking to upgrade to a new device,” Senior Analyst Maurice Klaehne said.
