The companies are hopeful to cover the decline faced in 2020 in the current year. The analysts expect a strong wave of device replacement and demand growth in emerging markets. The annual global smartphone production for 2021 is predicted to be 1.36 billion units or a 9% increase from 2020.
Because of the trade ban, Huawei got the minimum market share of just 3%. According to the experts, Huawei will drop its position from the top five brands of the world. Instead, other emerging companies like Tecno, and Infinix are more likely to overtake Huawei.
