Xiaomi, Vivo, OPPO & Huawei remained the fastest growing smartphone brands in Q3: Counterpoint
Apart from China, India and South-East Asia is fast becoming the next battleground for these Chinese brands. A Chinese brand holds a top-five ranking in each of these markets.
According to the new Market Monitor report by research firm Counterpoint, Global smartphone shipments grew 5 percent YoY reaching 400 million units in Q3 2017.
Chinese brands Xiaomi, Vivo, OPPO & Huawei remained the fastest growing smartphone brands. Samsung, Apple, and LG also showed growth during the quarter, a report said.
"The global smartphone market continues to grow in single digits driven by growth in emerging markets. In such a scenario, we have seen key hardware differentiators proliferate to lower price points at much faster rates," said Jeff Fieldhack, Research Director at Counterpoint Research, in a statement.
"In addition, the increasing share of leading brands is putting additional pressure on smaller brands which can lead to consolidation in some of the OEM-crowded regions going forward," he said.

Samsung led the smartphone market by volume with a market share of 20.6 percent in Q3 2017. Its smartphone shipments recorded a growth of 9% annually during the quarter.
Sequentially, Samsung shipments grew 3 percent driven by the launch of the Note 8 and strong sales of new J-series. Revenues were down for Samsung due to higher sales of low and mid-end segment smartphones.
