Countries by Annual Smartphone Sales 2024

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by total smartphone units sold to consumers in 2024, measured in millions according to IDC Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker data. China is by far the world's largest smartphone market in absolute terms, with nearly 300 million handsets sold annually — though India is the fastest-growing major market and is expected to surpass the United States in total sales volume within the coming years.

✨ AI Insight

China's staggering 287 million smartphone units sold in 2024 dwarfs the figures of its closest competitors, the United States and India, which sold 155 million and 152 million units respectively. This significant gap underscores China's established market and consumer base. However, India's rapid growth indicates a shifting landscape, as it is poised to surpass the U.S. in total sales volume in the near future. Other notable markets include Indonesia and Brazil, with 38 million and 34 million units sold, but they remain far behind the top three. The trend suggests that while established markets like China and the U.S. continue to perform well, emerging markets like India are becoming increasingly vital for future growth in smartphone sales.
