Vietnam's smartphone shipments declined by 15.6% to 13.4 million units in 2022, a volume just slightly better than the 13.2 million units in 2015 when the market was still on the rise, according to *International Data Corporation (IDC)*.

Despite the fourth quarter of the year usually being a seasonally strong period, significantly dampened consumer demand, high inflation, and economic uncertainties also pushed the market down 50.3% YoY to 2.6 million units, a total not seen since Q3 21 when the market was struggling with supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The market intelligence group attributed the cause to rising living costs and growing macroeconomic concerns in the region that dampened consumer demand in the year. This has also led to a cautious start in 2023 as vendors rethought their portfolio of devices amidst profitability concerns.

Looking at the *Techloy* chart below, Apple was a bright spot in 2022, being the only top smartphone vendor to weather the decline with a 23.6% growth while other vendors including Samsung, Xiaomi and OPPO witnessed a decline year over year.
