According to Taiwan’s Economic Daily, citing industry sources, MediaTek’s 5 G chip shipments may exceed 120 million units next year due to increased orders from major customers such as OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi. In comparison, the company’s 5G chip shipments this year are expected to exceed 45 million units.
Industry insiders point out that due to the huge global demand for 5G phone replacements next year, MediaTek’s 5G chip shipments are expected to grow significantly. In particular, almost all non-Apple brands in China use MediaTek chips. MediaTek has a high cost-effective advantage and is widely adopted by customers.
According to another report, Huawei has announced that it has sold the Honor brand. Honor ships 70 million smartphones annually, suggesting MediaTek’s 5G chip shipments are expected to reach 150 million units next year.
According to industry analysts, MediaTek’s share of the 5G smartphone market this year is about 22.5%. The industry expects global smartphone shipments to reach around 500 million units next year. If the company’s 5G chip shipments exceed 120 million units next year, its market share could rise to around 24%; if annual sales exceed 150 million units, the market share is expected to exceed 10%, further narrowing the gap with Qualcomm.
MediaTek expects its 5G smartphone processors to achieve strong sales this year, with shipments projected to exceed 45 million units.
