In the cell phone market, the growth trend is very optimistic. Global market research organization Counterpoint predicts that global smartphone sales will continue to rise from 2025 to 2027. Among them, folding screen phone shipments are growing particularly significantly, expected to reach 39 million, 48 million and 59 million units respectively in these three years, a considerable year-on-year growth. At the same time, cost-effective entry-level smartphones, that is, products priced in the $36 – $99 range, are gradually taking over the market share of mid-range and high-end phones. Refurbished branded phones are also gaining popularity among consumers due to the prevalence of the concept of sustainable development.

With the change of people’s life and work habits, the frequency of traditional PC hosts in the home scenario is gradually reduced, and notebook computers and mini-PCs, with their portability and small footprint, are gradually replacing the host product market. In addition, after three to four years of use, the batteries of thin and light notebooks usually deteriorate by 20% to 30%, which affects battery life and usage experience, and prompts consumers to purchase new notebooks. As the world’s leading producer of PCs, China accounts for about 89% of the world’s production capacity, and entry-level models have become the mainstay of sales.

In addition, consumer electronics segments such as projectors, mobile storage, 3D printing, ink cartridges and toner cartridges, as well as photographic equipment and accessories, are all steadily moving forward on their respective development tracks, and Chinese sellers are also occupying an important position in these areas. For example, the market for projectors is moving from early barbaric growth to maturity and standardization due to factors such as growing demand for home entertainment, technological advances and outdoor portability; the explosive growth in global data volume has led to the expansion of the mobile storage market, with Chinese sellers occupying a huge share of the global market for mobile storage retail channels; and the market for 3D printing is growing rapidly, with Chinese brands leading the consumer-grade 3D printer industry; General-purpose printing consumables are gaining market share due to their price/performance advantages, and the center of gravity of the global printing/copying general-purpose consumables industry is shifting to China; the rise of short videos and live streaming has driven the rapid growth of the photography equipment and accessories market, and Chinese brands and manufacturers have stood out in the international market due to their price/performance advantages and technological innovation capabilities.
