Huawei Kirin maker slips in smartphone chipset market in China due to U.S. restrictions

Huawei is a well-known tech maker in the world. No doubt, the company has given some of the best hardware and software products to its consumers. But, currently, Huawei is going through a huge decline in the smartphone chipset market in China due to U.S. restrictions.

According to the CINNO reports, the shipment of smartphone chipsets in China made a growth of 19.12 million. Although this info reflects an increment of 8.6% on the monthly basis. But in terms of yearly progress, the report shows a decrement of 19.7 percent.

The smartphone chipset report took place between MediaTek, Qualcomm, Apple, UNISOC, and Huawei HiSilicon in mainland China. Alternatively, MediaTek processor scores the first rank with a shipment of 8.4 million units.

Consequently, MediaTek was able to gain the largest profit of 15.1% among several SoC brands. Meanwhile, it has the smallest decrease in yearly progress, that is, only 3.3 percent. Thereafter comes the Qualcomm processor with a month-on-month profit of 4.1 percent. The chip firm was able to supply 6.5 million units across the consumer platform.

Further, Apple reached to the third position with a shipment of 3 million. Besides, the American manufacturer was able to retain its steps in the top three device sales with iPhone 13 series. Of all these tech giants, only Huawei received a declination with its HiSilicon processor.

The major fact behind the decrement in Huawei smartphone chipset in China is the US restrictions on the company. As a result of which, Huawei HiSilicon has gradually drawn out from the handset market. On the flip side, this decrease gave Apple the chance to firm its root in the high-end smartphone processor ground.

The report also mentions that the total shipment of smartphone chips that range from 4000-5999 yuan in China has increased from 5.6 percent to 13.2 percent. In the meantime, ultra-high-end phones above 6000 yuan dropped to 6.4 percent on the yearly basis.

On the greener side, Honor terminals show a sale volume of 3.2 million units in the smartphone market. Talking about the Chinese manufacturer, it remains at the fifth position in the chipset platform. Yet, we are looking ahead to see it at the number one position soon.
