Following this development, the smartphone market grew by 7.8% in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. After Apple dominated the market last year, the first quarter of this year brought an important decline for the American manufacturer, along with a recovery and growth for Samsung. Apple was the manufacturer with the biggest decline in the top 5, with iPhone sales falling 9.6% over the same period, which put Apple in second place. The market leader was Samsung, with 60.1 million units delivered and a 20.8% market share. Xiaomi, Transsion and Oppo are the manufacturers that complete, in this order, the top five largest manufacturers, with significant increases of 33.8% and 84.9% respectively in the case of the first two.
