Exports of smartphones from China to the US has fallen to the lowest level since 2011 – Bloomberg

In April 2025, exports of smartphones from China to the United States fell to the lowest level since 2011 – almost 72%, to less than $ 700 million. For comparison, total exports from China to the United States have decreased by 21%, Bloomberg reports.

Such a sharp downturn in the supply of smartphones, including iPhone, is the result of American duties that reach 145% for some Chinese goods. This seriously affects the technological supply chains, forcing the company to reorient to other markets.

Analysts warn of the risk of a large -scale trade war between two superpowers. Last year, the United States and China stamped $ 690 billion, and a decrease in this volume can affect the goals of the industry and consumer prices.

Smartphones, laptops and lithium-ion batteries are the main products that the US imports from China. At the same time, the United States supplies oil, soybeans, turbines and equipment for chips.

Due to trade restrictions, Apple actively transfers the production of iPhone to India, which has become the second largest center for assembling these devices. During the year, exports to India have increased almost four times. Although Trump opposes such production migration, urging Apple to return it to the United States, it looks unrealistic: iPhone has never been produced in America, and in the short term it will not happen.

Thus, geopolitical stress and economic measures significantly change the global supply chains in the technological sector.
