Institution: Global mobile phone production in 2026 may face a 10% downside risk.

According to the latest smartphone research by TrendForce, global smartphone production in 2026 is expected to decline by 10% due to the high prices of storage memory, with total volume dropping to approximately 1.135 billion units. The rising cost of storage memory is expected to continue, exacerbating the gap between terminal prices and consumer expectations, which may lead to even weaker terminal demand. Therefore, TrendForce further predicts that the global smartphone production decline for this year will expand to 15% or higher; different brands will be impacted to varying degrees due to differences in product structure and regional distribution.
