How To Read This Chart
This is not a clean trend line, so resist the urge to draw one. Global's number moves both directions across the period — treat any single year as a snapshot, not a forecast.
Worth noting this move happens in 2020, the year lockdowns disrupted ordinary activity broadly across the world. It may or may not be the direct explanation here, but it's the most common one for a dip landing in exactly this year.
The single most useful thing to do with this chart is compare Global against its neighbors or peers on the same number of smartphones sold to end users worldwide from 2007 to 2023 series, not read the line in isolation — a number only means something relative to where everyone else stands.
Treat this as the compiling agency's best current estimate rather than a precise annual count — the source linked below periodically revises these figures as new survey data comes in.
