  • Smartphone Market to Shrink ~2% in 2026 as Chip and Memory Costs Rise, Counterpoint Warns
    December 16, 2025, 10:26 AM EST. Counterpoint Research forecasts the global smartphone market will shrink by about 2.1% in 2026, with all brands seeing declines as component costs rise. Low-end devices are hit hardest as chip and memory prices climb due to AI demand. The firm notes the bill of materials (BOM) for a new phone could rise 8% to over 15% above current levels, potentially pushing up prices. ASPs are expected to rise around 6.9% next year. Apple and Samsung are seen as best positioned to weather the downturn, while Chinese OEMs like Xiaomi, Honor, and Oppo may fare worse; Vivo could also see declines rather than growth.
