Samsung’s share in smartphone chip market to decline in 2021

Samsung Electronics is expected to lose its share in the smartphone chipset market this year, a report showed on Tuesday, as Taiwanese and US rivals are to expand their presence with a rise in the 5G device sector.

Samsung was estimated to take an 8 per cent share in the global smartphone application processor (AP)/System on Chip (SoC) market in 2021, down 11 per cent from a year earlier, to take the fourth spot, according to a report from industry tracker Counterpoint Research.
