Counterpoint: Global smartwatch market continues to decline in Q1 2025
It's not looking great for the smartwatch industry as analysts from Counterpoint have recorded a fifth consecutive quarter of decline with 2% year-on-year slip. However, China is experiencing a surge in smartwatch shipments, with a whopping 37% year-on-year growth. Experts point out two major reasons for the global smartwatch market decline. The first is the waning of Apple smartwatch sales, accompanied by a significant and persistent deceleration in India's once-booming smartwatch market. Still, Apple retains the top spot with 20% global share, while recording 9% decline in shipments. Apple is followed by Huawei, which grew 53%, and so did Xiaomi, from 6% last year to 10%, recording the same 53% growth as Huawei. Samsung lost nearly 23% of its market share year-over-year, dropping from 9% to 7% of the global share. Consumer preferences are seeing notable changes as people are looking for more expensive and feature-rich devices. The $100-$200 segment experienced a 21% growth, while the sub-$100 category saw a 17% decline in shipments. Looking ahead, Counterpoint believes that the smartwatch market will see a modest uptick in sales by the end of 2025, with around 3% growth. Source

Counterpoint: Global TWS earbuds market primed for growth through 2028
The latest report from Counterpoint Research shows TWS earbuds sales are expected to grow by 3% in 2025 and continue to see positive demand through 2028. While the product category is entering its maturity phase i.e. peak sales and increased competition, there's still room for growth, especially in the entry-level range for devices priced under $50. According to Counterpoint, emerging markets will drive growth in the coming years as we see a decline in demand for premium TWS earbuds priced above $150. Global TWS Market Sales Share of Top 5 Brands, 2024 vs 2025 (Expected) Apple is expected to retain its leading position with a forecasted 21% market share of all global TWS shipments for 2025. The upcoming AirPods Pro 3 are expected to serve as an upgrade incentive for users of older generation AirPods, while the entry-level AirPods 5 (tentative name), which are rumored to launch in 2027, could serve as Cupertino's key growth driver. Xiaomi is expected to command 8% of all global TWS shipments this year thanks to its diversified portfolio of earbuds and established presence and wide range of sales channels. Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro Indian brand boAt audio is expected to drop its market share as its primary target audience of first-time buyers has already been captured and it faces stiff competition from Chinese brands. Samsung should slide into fourth place in terms of market share as it continues to leverage its Galaxy ecosystem and improved noise canceling and AI features. JBL should complete the top-five list with an estimated 4% market share driven by a positive Q1 growth in India and increased demand for its entry-level earbuds. Source
