According to the latest Canalys report, mainland China emerges as the leading market for AI interest among the world's top three smartphone regions. In a comparison of China, India, and the United States, 31% of Chinese consumers show a "high" to "extremely high" interest in AI, significantly outpacing India’s 12%. Notably, only 1% of consumers in China indicate no interest in AI whatsoever.
The survey reveals that Chinese consumers are particularly open to embracing new technologies. This willingness, coupled with manufacturers' proactive investments in AI education and marketing, has created a favorable environment for the growth of AI smartphones in the region.
