智通财经APP获悉，2025年，非洲智能手机市场迎来良好开局，区域出货量已连续第八个季度实现增长。Canalys（现并入Omdia）最新 数据显示，2025年第一季度，出货量同比增长6%，达到1940万部。尽管其他地区对入门级设备的需求有所减弱，非洲市场受益于线下零 售的持续活跃，以及厂商对广泛市场覆盖的重新重视。关键市场的相关政策调整、汇率波动的缓解，以及年初针对注重性价比用户的新 品推出，也进一步推动了本季度的市场表现。 应对复杂局势：非洲智能手机市场在2025年面临微妙挑战 Pravinkumar表示："非洲智能手机市场在2025年仍具发展潜力，但持续的经济挑战正在抑制增长势头。尽管厂商和电信运营商积极投资 于长期数字化发展，但短期内仍面临诸多困难。消费者在多个非洲国家依然受到生活成本上升和官僚低效的影响，这将抑制或推迟关键 的投资计划。不过，市场仍表现出一定的韧性。4G设备在2025年第一季度占据85%的出货量，中端价位段（100至199美元）占比达 42%。这反映出消费者购买力受限，限制了对高规格设备的升级需求。市场对融资合作模式的依赖——例如肯尼亚的OnPhone Mobile和 LOOP、尼日利 ...
