Smartphone shipments to the Philippines declined by eight percent quarter-on-quarter and 6.8 percent annually, bringing in 3.9 million units in the third quarter this year, according to International Data Corporation’s Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker.

Smartphone shipments to the Philippines declined by eight percent quarter-on-quarter and 6.8 percent annually, bringing in 3.9 million units in the third quarter this year, according to International Data Corporation’s Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker.

“The Philippine smartphone market quickly shrank in the third quarter as inflation accelerated, further aggravated by recent typhoons, hurting both consumers and vendors. Vendors took a more conservative approach by clearing inventories, maintaining prices of existing models, and sustaining momentum by bringing in more affordable smartphones,” said Angela Medez, Senior Market Analyst at IDC Philippines.

The ultra low-end price band grew 20.7 percent QoQ and 21.3 percent Year-on-Year in 3Q22 due to aggressive pushes by vendors, the IDC statement said adding that all aimed at targeting the entry level market as consumers sought cheaper options. “The last quarter of the year is the peak sales period for smartphones, buoyed by holiday buying. But as inflation is expected to linger and peak towards the end of year, we anticipate an annual shipment decline towards the end of 2022 as vendors will lower targets for the upcoming holiday season by controlling inventories and increasing prices for newer models to counter the depreciating currency,” added Medez.
