The HP market in Indonesia is declining
IDC sees Indonesian smartphones declining for eight consecutive quarters in 2Q23. Even so, on a seasonal basis, it grew 13.8% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), to 8.9 million units.
Growth in the entry level segment helped the year-over-year (YoY) decline to single digits as most of the major players increased their shipments in the sector.
As a result, the HP 4G market share rose again to 86% from 82% in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, HP 5G fell by 4.3% YoY for the first time since its appearance in 2020.
Cellphones with higher prices in the >US$ 600 or IDR 9 million segment grew 71% YoY, because Samsung and Apple fought fiercely in that segment.
“Adoption of 5G cellphones is slow due to challenges on both the demand and supply side. The share of 5G cellphones is still very small compared to 4G cellphones. Even though they are more affordable, their 4G counterparts often have much better specifications at similar prices. Due to 5G connectivity “still limited to certain areas, 5G features are not enough to attract potential new consumers,” said Vanessa Aurelia, Associate Market Analyst at IDC Indonesia.
“The low 5G smartphone penetration rate is causing telcos to remain cautious in their 5G investments, taking into account factors such as cost and overall returns,” he added.
