  • 苹果在2025年占据了全球智能手机市场20%的份额,是主要制造商中最高的,得益于iPhone 17系列的强劲需求。
  • 更广泛的智能手机市场温和增长,但由于芯片短缺和零部件成本上升,2026年可能面临潜在逆风。

发生了什么:苹果在市场温和增长中领先

根据Counterpoint Research的数据,2025年全球智能手机出货量同比增长2%,受新兴市场强劲需求和经济势头推动。苹果以20%的份额成为市场领导者,是前五大品牌中最大的,得益于iPhone 17系列的稳定需求以及中等和发展中地区的增长。

三星紧随其后,份额为19%,出货量温和增长,而小米以13%的份额位居第三,得益于新兴市场的稳定需求。2025年初,智能手机厂商提前发货以减轻预期关税的影响,但随着时间推移,这种效应减弱,下半年出货量基本保持不变。

数据反映了智能手机行业更广泛但温和的扩张:这是全球出货量连续第二年增长,尽管增速比早期周期慢。这一趋势表明,即使在平均价格水平上升和竞争加剧的情况下,关键市场的消费者对高端设备和5G升级的兴趣仍在继续。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.

为何重要

苹果在2025年的领先地位彰显了公司的韧性和把握全球对高端智能手机需求的能力。其成功不仅体现在份额上,还体现在出货量增长上,随着消费者升级旧设备,以双位数的增幅超过竞争对手。然而,市场份额数据——虽然重要——只是业绩的一个衡量标准;收入、盈利能力和地区表现可以更细致地描绘竞争力。 另见: Ofcom 揭露英国铁路移动覆盖差距.

对于三星和小米等其他安卓制造商来说,在价格敏感市场保持相关性仍然至关重要。它们位居第二和第三的位置反映了成熟市场以外持续的需求,尽管增速落后于苹果。 另见: 罗伯特·纽沃斯.

展望未来,Counterpoint警告说,2026年市场可能疲软,计划增长受到全球芯片短缺和零部件成本上升的威胁,因为芯片制造商将人工智能数据中心需求置于手机组件之上。这些限制可能会挤压制造商的利润或减缓新设备推出,对当前增长趋势的持续性提出疑问。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.

另一个需要审视的领域是地区表现:全球份额不能揭示局部差异。例如,苹果在中国和其他主要市场的地位可能因季而异,受当地竞争和定价动态影响——即使整体全球数据显示主导地位。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.
