Analysts pointed out that, by early 2021, the Apple Watch would be passing the figure of 100 million users. Now, new data from Counterpoint Research indicates that it was correct, with a clock of Apple that leads with ease in the market of smartwatches, which continues to rise.
Counterpoint Research has released the data regarding the smartwatch market. Following the crisis caused by COVID.19, global shipments of smartwatches increased up to 27% compared to the same quarter last year.
Apple maintains its first position, well above direct rivals, with up to three times more presence than most of them.
- Apple: 28%
- Huawei: 9.3%
- Samsung 7.6%
- Imoo: 6.0%
- Garmin: 5.8%
Compared to the same period last year, Apple has fallen from 30.1% to 28% of market share, a slight decrease, but consolidating a first position. Similarly, analysts indicate that the barrier of 100 million users has been surpassed, with the United States as the main market, accounting for more than half of its user base.
The news comes a few weeks after the presentation of the new iPhone 13 and the Apple Watch Series 7, the new Apple devices with a great sales forecast for 2022.
