List of best-selling chipsets in China in 2021 published: MediaTek surpasses Qualcomm!
As we can see, the top five companies on the 2021 list are MediaTek, Qualcomm, Apple, HiSilicon, and UNISOC. Among them, MediaTek's annual shipments reached 110 million units, a 42,5% year-over-year increase. From being slightly behind Qualcomm last year, this year they went ahead of Qualcomm and successfully reached the top.
On the other hand, HiSilicon suffered a severe drop due to the impact of supply cuts. From 9,62 billion in 2020 to just 3,02 billion in 2021, a year-over-year decline of 68,6%.
At present, manufacturers using MediaTek Dimensity chips include OPPO, vivo, Realme, Huawei, ZTE, etc. The products are positioned mainly in the entry-level and mid-range range, and are also the main sales force in November.
At the moment, MediaTek has a huge advantage in the low-mid-range and, in the high-end, the future Dimensity 9000 is also very competitive. So by 2022, MediaTek's market performance could be even better.
