China’s cutthroat smartphone market is coming down to a handful of major brandsSlowing demand is threatening Chinese smartphone companies like Gionee, Coolpad and LeEco, all of which mainly rely on domestic sales.
Smartphone sales in China are dominated by the top five brands – Huawei Technologies, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and Apple – with a 77 per cent share of the market, up from 67 per cent in 2016.
Data from IDC showed that smartphone shipments on the mainland decreased 4.9 per cent to 444.3 million units last year.
“The top-20 smartphone brands control 93 per cent of the market,” said Counterpart research director Neil Shah. “That means 180 other brands are competing for just the remaining seven per cent share".

Daiwa said in the research report that it believed CHINA MOBILE (00941.HK) and CHINA UNICOM (00762.HK) are relatively more vulnerable than CHINA TELECOM (00728.HK), as China Mobile has more dominant presence in the rural areas, while China Unicom has been promoting cheap & unlimited data packages in select regions.
