Worldwide business smartphone shipments grew by 24% year on year in Q1 2021. Growth was driven by a continued recovery in demand and a strong supply-side push of 5G devices. The quarter experienced strong BYOD and corporate-liable growth in all regions, as working from home remained the default setting for a large number of workforces. Uncertainty about the duration of the pandemic and future contagion waves, has resulted in many companies viewing WFH (working from home) as a ‘new normal’ way of operating. The overall B2B smartphone market remained positive because demand and supply are starting to pick up as the markets began to stabilize again, with more countries exiting lockdowns.
