Vietnam has consistently maintained its position as the world’s second-largest smartphone exporter. By 2022, Vietnam’s share of smartphone exports reached 12% of the global market, while its competitor, India, secured the seventh spot with a modest export share of just over 2.5%12. Notably, China continued to dominate the market, exporting half of the world’s smartphones during the same year.
Other significant players in the export market include Hong Kong, the UAE, the Czech Republic, the US, and the Republic of Korea.
In January, Vietnam’s exports of phones and components exceeded $5.5 billion USD, marking a remarkable 50.4% increase compared to December 2023 and an 11.4% year-on-year growth1. The US and China emerged as the largest customers for Vietnamese phones and components. Specifically, Vietnam’s exports to the US amounted to $1.39 billion USD, constituting 25% of total exports. China followed closely with approximately $734 million USD (13%), and the Republic of Korea ranked third with $330 million USD.
Interestingly, in 2010, phone components accounted for only 3.2% of Vietnam’s total national export value. However, this category experienced substantial growth, with an annual average growth rate of 34% in export value from 2011 to 2021.
Despite a 9.7% decline in overseas shipments of phones and accessories in 2023, the sector still ranked second in export value, trailing only behind computers, electronics, and components1. Furthermore, an HSBC report revealed that in 2021, Vietnam held 13% of the global smartphone market share, solidifying its position as the second-largest smartphone exporter worldwide.
Vietnam has also become an attractive destination for major players in the global phone and component industry, including Apple. Currently, approximately 25 Apple suppliers have established factories in Vietnam, as reported by vtv.vn.
