INFOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION

SMARTPHONES IN THE PHILIPPINES
Smartphones are now considered a necessity for most of us to communicate with friends and family, for work, and as a form of mobile entertainment. Today, it is estimated that over five billion people or 67 percent of the global population have mobile devices, and over half of these are smartphones.

Southeast Asia, a region of over 680 million people, has seen incredible growth in mobile penetration over the years. The Philippines which is one of the ASEAN member countries has shown significant mobile penetration rates last couple of years. According to the Pew Research Centre, 55 percent of adults in the country own smartphones, while another 22 percent own mobile phones.

Philippine consumer electronics market spending from 2020-2024 should reach $8.1 billion and spending in 2020 alone should be around $6 billion. The most popular subsectors would include mobile handsets, computer hardware, and audio-visual devices. Many favorable factors have poised this industry for continued growth. The first would be that the Philippine economy has been consistently growing for years and that 60% of its population is under 23 years old. A new middle class is also emerging, and an estimated 1.5 million households will reach an income of $25,000 by 2024. This group will purchase consumer electronics for the first time, and is eager to own mobile devices, televisions, and possibly computers.

The year 2019 which showed a tremendous lift in sales of smartphones is brought to an abrupt end by the covid-19 pandemic. The introduction of the TRAIN Act (Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion) in the Philippines elevated the salaries of certain sectors of employees, encouraging many to upgrade their smartphones in 2019, with a shift to mid-priced smartphones at the expense of lower-priced options. Mid-priced smartphones have higher-quality cameras, larger memory, and other specifications that are relevant in the age of social media.
