Research Report on Southeast Asia Smartphone Assembly Industry 2023-2032

Most countries in Southeast Asia have a low smartphone penetration rate and have a lot of upside potential. With the development of mobile Internet and e-commerce in each country, the smartphone penetration rate is also gradually growing. Take Vietnam as an example, Vietnam's cell phone sales have gradually increased, and in 2021, Vietnam's smartphone sales reached 15.9 million units, up 11.9% year-on-year.

Southeast Asia in this report includes 10 countries: Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos and Cambodia. With a total population of over 600 million by the end of 2021, Southeast Asia has an overall economic growth rate higher than the global average and is one of the key drivers of future global economic growth.

According to CRI's analysis, the economic levels of the 10 Southeast Asian countries vary greatly, with Singapore being the only developed country with a per capita GDP of about US$73,000 in 2021. While Myanmar and Cambodia will have a GDP per capita of less than US$2,000 in 2021. The population and minimum wage levels also vary greatly from country to country, with Brunei, which has the smallest population, having a total population of less than 500,000 people in 2021, and Indonesia, which has the largest population, having a population of about 275 million people in 2021. The most economically advanced countries in Southeast Asia do not have a legal minimum wage, with the actual minimum wage exceeding US$400 per month (for foreign maids), while the lowest minimum wage level in Myanmar is only about US$93 per month.

At present, the development of smartphone assembly industry in Southeast Asian countries varies greatly. According to CRI analysis, Singapore's high labor and land costs are not suitable for the development of cell phone assembly industry. Vietnam and Indonesia's smartphone assembly industry is more mature, about 60% of Samsung's smartphones are assembled by Vietnam's factories, and in 2021, Vietnam's cell phone and parts industry exports amounted to about US$58 billion, up 12.4% year-on-year, while a number of cell phone manufacturers have also built cell phone assembly plants in Indonesia, mainly to serve the domestic sales of cell phones in Indonesia. Other countries in Southeast Asia domestic smartphone assembly industry is relatively weak or has not yet started, still to be developed.

Overall, according to CRI forecast, the size of the smartphone assembly industry in Southeast Asia will maintain growth from 2023-2032. On the one hand, Southeast Asian countries are rich in labor resources and low production costs, and the smartphone assembly industry has a bright future, attracting global cell phone manufacturers to transfer production capacity to the Southeast Asian region. On the other hand, the economic growth of Southeast Asian countries, the improvement of residents' living standards and the growth of demand for smartphones will also promote smartphone shipments.
