Analysts also highlight a number of reasons for growth. The increased centrality of a smartphone to a person’s life also means people are more prepared to spend heavily and retain them for a longer period. This cultural change also led to the $1,000 and above price segment becoming the fastest growing in 2022, with 38% year-on-year.

Among all, Apple continues to maintain its grip over the premium market for another year, holding on to 75% in 2022 versus a 71% share in 2021.
