Major industry players such as Apple, Samsung, and Huawei are launching strong smartphone AI processors that consume far less power to execute more jobs and conduct up to 5 trillion operations per second.

US Smartphones Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Smartphones Market Driver

Smartphones with 5G capabilities will drive the majority of market growth in the future.

Increasing demand for 5G smartphones is predicted to lower the pricing of 4G devices, resulting in increased sales volume.
