2026 is not expected to be good for Apple, Samsung and other mobile companies. Many such reports have come out in which it has been said that there will be a decline of 2.1 percent in the global smartphone market next year and this will affect big companies like Apple as well as small companies like Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo. Smartphones are becoming expensive due to rising prices of memory chips, due to which sales are likely to be low in 2026.

Which company will be affected to what extent?

According to the report of Counter Point Research, Apple’s shipment is expected to decline by 2.2 percent and Samsung’s shipment by 2.1 percent on annual basis in 2026. Whereas Vivo may have to see a decline of 1.2 percent. This is also a big blow because till some time back Vivo was expecting good sales next year. Similarly, Oppo may also face a decline of 1.2 percent. If we look at the report, Honor may face a bad situation next year. Its market volume is expected to decline by 3.4 percent. Similarly, sales of other categories are also said to be falling by 2.5 percent.

Smartphones are going to become expensive

Due to increasing costs, smartphone companies will have to increase the price of their products. According to reports, the cost of smartphone parts for companies has increased by 10-25 percent and its direct burden will increase on the pockets of customers. In such a situation, cheap and mid-range segment smartphones can become expensive. At the same time, if companies do not increase their prices then upgrades will have to be reduced. Recently there was news that companies are now retreating from launching phones with 16GB RAM in the entry and mid-level segment. Due to the expensiveness of memory chips, companies can again start bringing smartphones with 4GB RAM.
