Counterpoint Research stated on Wednesday that the shipment volume of smartphones in the United States in March surged by 30% because manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung Electronics, and Motorola anticipated high import tariffs being imposed by the United States and rushed to bring more phones into the country. Media reports last month indicated that in March alone, Apple air-shipped $2 billion worth of iPhones from India to meet the sharp increase in demand. The surge in shipment volume reflects companies' efforts to avoid high tariffs. If tariffs result in price increases, it could erode profits or suppress demand for smartphones.
