A huge number of second-tier MICROVENDORS played a meaningful role in the global smartphone market. However, industry consolidation is underway. The "top 30+" vendors worldwide, like Xiaomi, together grew +4% YoY in 2017, in contrast, the next "top 100+" microvendors combined posted -14% YoY decline. In Q4 2017, all microvendors together posted a -27% annual decline by smartphone shipment. We believe supply constrain and component price hikes hurt microvendors performance over recent quarters. All microvendors together made up 11% of global smartphone volumes during 2017. Microvendors, like Meitu, Sugar and Konka in China, Karbonn in India and BQ Mobile in Russia, are growing faster than average. Our extensive report contains global smartphone shipments for the top 30+ vendors and over 100+ microvendors by quarter from 2007 to Q4 2017. Key regions / markets info for each microvendor are included, as well. The report is a valuable tool for mobile stakeholders who want to size the fast-growing smartphone microvendors category.
