Market Highlights

Apple: Apple’s chipset shipments increased in Q4 2024 due to the launch of its A18 series.
MediaTek: MediaTek's overall shipments increased in Q4 2024. LTE chipset shipments remained flat while 5G chipset shipments increased. Premium-tier shipments are expected to increase due to the launch of Dimensity 9400.

Qualcomm: Qualcomm's shipments slightly declined sequentially in Q4 2024. However, revenues got a boost from the premium segment growth. Demand for the Snapdragon 8 Elite is expected to remain strong, supported by design wins with multiple OEMs and the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series exclusively with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

Further, the Exynos 1480 and Exynos 1330's shipments have increased due to the high shipment volumes for Samsung's Galaxy A55 and A16 5G respectively.
UNISOC: UNISOC’s shipments increased in Q4 2024 due to design wins for its LTE chipsets across leading players. UNISOC continues to gain share in the low-tier price bands (under $99) driven by its LTE portfolio.
