Abstracts

Retail volume sales of smartphones declined in 2022, and this is set to continue in 2023. In 2021, sales of smartphones saw a dynamic volume increase, partly due to a rebound from the 2020 fall in sales, when COVID-19 disrupted the production and supply chain. This was one of the main factors contributing to the subsequent declines, as a large proportion of demand had already been met, and sales were unable to remain at such a high level.
