While Qualcomm is often perceived as the market leader, the true top player is MediaTek. In the first quarter of 2022, MediaTek held approximately 41.2% of the market share in China’s smartphone SoC market, an increase of 7% compared to the same period last year, while Qualcomm accounted for 35.9%, ranking second. This means that out of every 10 smartphones sold, 4 are equipped with MediaTek chips.

Apple and HiSilicon saw significant declines in shipments, with Apple experiencing a drop due to the previous quarter coinciding with the new iPhone release, resulting in a high shipment base. As for HiSilicon, the reasons are well-known. Overall, MediaTek performed the strongest, with both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter growth.

According to the data for this year, the smartphone shipment volume in March was 20.04 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 24.7% and a month-on-month decrease of 14.6%, indicating a continuous decline in smartphone SoC sales.

From the actual market situation, no new devices equipped with Dimensity chips were released in the first quarter of 2022, with only the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 struggling alone, leading to low enthusiasm for purchasing new devices, with many feeling disheartened. In the second quarter, new devices featuring the Dimensity 8100/9000 were released one after another, receiving positive market feedback, while the TSMC version of the 8 Gen 1 has yet to arrive. The second quarter is expected to be MediaTek’s domain.
