IDC Consulting published a report on the top ten insights for the China Smart Phone market in 2025, indicating that the central government is determined to improve market confidence and promote economic stabilization and recovery, which will stimulate Consumer demand, possibly increasing subsidies for Smart Phones, encouraging more Consumers to upgrade their devices. It is currently forecasted that the shipment volume of China's Smart Phone market will reach 0.289 billion units by 2025, with a year-on-year growth of 1.6%, and the shipment volume will remain stable in the coming years.
