The sales volume dropped significantly, revealing that Samsung mobile phones will return to the Russian market in October

Samsung is a mobile phone brand with good sales in various countries. Although the sales of its various mobile phone models have declined in recent years, they are still popular with many users. In March this year, due to the international situation, Samsung announced that it had withdrawn from the Russian market, but recently there were various news that Samsung would return to Russia in October this year. What is the matter? Now let's have a detailed introduction!

In March this year, Apple, Samsung and other mobile phone manufacturers announced their withdrawal from the Russian market, but it is obviously impossible to permanently withdraw from the market. It should only be a matter of time before Apple and Samsung return to Russia.

On September 15, according to Russian media reports, Samsung is expected to return to the Russian market within the year, and may resume equipment supply to Russian retailers and the opening of official online stores in October this year. Samsung spokesman refused to respond to this.

Before the announcement of its withdrawal from the Russian market, Samsung mobile phones were not only popular in the local market, accounting for a large part of the market data. As of the fourth quarter of 2021, Samsung mobile phones had a share of up to 30% in the Russian market. At that time, domestic mobile phones were still inferior to Samsung in the market.

But after Samsung and Apple withdrew, the opportunity for domestic mobile phone manufacturers came. According to industry data, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have accounted for the vast majority of the Russian smartphone market. Among them, Xiaomi (plus its sub brand POCO) ranked first in sales of smart phones in Russia in July, with a market share of 42%. The sales of Samsung and Apple in Russia in July accounted for 8.5% and 7% respectively, showing a sharp downward trend.

It is worth noting that the Russian Minister of Trade and Industry Dennis Mantulov said not long ago that Russia would not rule out importing the latest iPhone 14 series. If Apple can return to Russia, it is estimated that Samsung will not be far away.

The above is the introduction of the news that Samsung is about to return to the Russian market. Although the sales of Samsung mobile phones in China may have dropped a lot in recent years, they were still good before leaving Russia. Although the news of returning to the Russian market has not been answered for the time being, October is coming, so let's wait and see!
