The
latest data on who controls the Global Mobile Phone Market
does not throw up suprises .. However recent Garter Report showed the extent to which
Samsung and Apple controls the
smartphone market across the world. Apple and Samsung together now represent 49.3
percent of all smartphones sold globally in the first quarter of 2012, up from
29.3 percent in the first quarter of 2011, while other vendors continue to
experience a decline.
The numbers
show that collectively Samsung and Apple has grown 20%, that is out of every
10 mobiles sold including smartphones in 2012 , Users
buy either a Apple product or a Samsung
product.
China has now become Apple’s second-largest market for
smartphones, after the United States and rival Samsung pretty much leads all,
having overtaken both Apple and Nokia in smartphone and cell phone
shipments, respectively…
According to the study,
the global market for mobile phones contracted by two percent
year-over-year, with global shipments decreasing to 419.1 million units in the
first quarter of 2012. Gartner noted this is the first time since the
second quarter of 2009 that the market exhibited a decline.
The annualized cell phone sales easily beat the 1.4 billion PCs
projected for this year and smartphones shipments grew to 144.4 million
units in Q1 2012, a 44.7 percent year-over-year increase.
