According to a market monitoring report released by Counterpoint Research, the global smartphone industry's revenue increased 7% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, reaching a record $109 billion. Despite a decline in global smartphone shipments during the same period, revenue still hit a record high in the second quarter, mainly due to a significant rise in the average global smartphone price. According to the data, the average global smartphone sales price increased 17% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, reaching an all-time high of $400 in the second quarter. This means that the threshold for consumers to buy an ordinary smartphone is rising significantly, and the cost of purchasing a smartphone is getting higher.
