North American shipments will make up 15% (42 million units), while EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) will account for roughly 11% of shipments with 31 million units altogether.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its forecast report, Canalys also speculates that this year\u2019s global smartphone shipments will decrease by 10.7% in comparison to the year before. This number is expected to bounce back in 2021 with projected annual growth of 9.9%, at which point over 1.3 billion units will be shipped out worldwide. The firm attributes massive shipments of 5G devices in 2020 mainly to their ongoing commercialization in mainland China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average selling price of 5G devices in Europe is projected to be on the decline over the next several years as Samsung and Apple continue to outperform their competition. It is expected to drop to $765 next year, and then to gradually decrease to the level of $477 by 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"356\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.rfbenchmark.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/global-shipments-of-5G-enabled-smartphones.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11357 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rfbenchmark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/global-shipments-of-5G-enabled-smartphones.jpg 630w, https:\/\/rfbenchmark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/global-shipments-of-5G-enabled-smartphones-300x170.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 630\/356;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is noteworthy that while at the beginning of this year, there weren\u2019t any 5G-enabled devices priced below $300 on offer, there are now various smartphones available on the market that cost under $250.
