How does StatCounter data collection work?
A StatCounter is a platform known worldwide for collecting data from different markets to indicate the volume of market share of each company in different segments. The platform does not explain what methodology it uses to collect this data when it comes to the smartphone market, for example. On your website there is only one page which explains that “statistics are based on aggregated data collected by StatCounter on a sample of over 5 billion page views per month collected across StatCounter’s network of over 1.5 million websites.”
Oficina da Net questioned StatCounter about its methodology, but we still haven’t had an answer. If we receive a response, this article will be updated.
It is possible, but not confirmed, that the platform calculates each company’s volume by the number of active users or devices instead of based on the number of manufacturer sales. This would explain, for example, why LG still appears in fifth place in the monthly ranking, as the company left the smartphone market in April 2021.
Comparison with the same period last year
Compared to August 2022, we can say that little has changed, except the percentage difference between one company and another. A Samsung it’s at Motorolafor example, were on the rise, with a percentage of 41.16 e 22.15, respectively. But the real fight was between Apple and Xiaomi, as the Chinese giant was close to reaching third place after a period of ascent. Interestingly, after that, the company stabilized with a percentage between 10% and 12% every month.
